My hamster was very great,
He stayed up very late,
He was only 4 inches tall,
He wasn't with us very long at all.
He was gold and black,
He had white patches on his back,
He loved to eat and store his food,
He was never in a grumpy mood.
He was a little fuzzy ball,
He grew a lot but that's not all,
He sat in my hand, and played with me,
He was a friend, it's obvious to see.
His exercise wheel was very loud,
It was noisy enough to wake a crowd,
At night in his wheel he would run,
But in the day, he just slept in the sun.
For the month that he was with me,
He was happy as could be,
Then one day he lay on his side,
And there in the sawdust, he died.
We think it was a brain tumour,
But that was just a rumour,
He only lived 11 weeks,
I wish it could have been forever.
I LOVE YOU CHIPPER!!!
Your loving friend and owner, Timothy.
