This poem was inspired by a series of poems written by a poet named Brazos. Eeeeeeeeep,eeeeeeeep,eeeeeeeep I'hampster sit alone in a cage by a wire wheel hung on one side. My paws hold a leaf of lettuce at my busy mouth. I'm fat,bored and lazy and i sleep all the time. A floor of shreded paper is my toilet and bed. The kid who owns me barly gives me a nod. I not for his mother I would already be dead. I hear him comming.I panic and run on the wheel going no where. Eeeeeeeeep,eeeeeeeeep,eeeeeeeeeep I see his face pressed against the bars of the cage. He has a stupid cruel grin plastered on his face. Squeeeeeek,squeeeeeek,squeeeeeeek HeisliftingthelockonthecagedoorheopensthedoorandthrustshishandinsideandgropeswildlyformeIrunaroundthecagetryingtoavoidhisgraspbutnoavail Eeeeeeeeep,eeeeeeeeep,eeeeeeeeeep He grips me painfully in his sweaty fist and pulls me out of the cage. This is the part I really hate the most He rubs my fur the wrong way till I look like I have been struck by lighting Now he is shoving a foul smelling pellet in my face. My body fills with a rage that over powers my fear I bite deeply into his thumb and he flings me across the room I quickly recover and scurry under the bed He runs to get a broom and probes wildly for me I am not there I have ran through a hole in the screen Eeeeeeeeeep,eeeeeeeeep,eeeeeeeeeeeep Now I am free My heart jumps for joy I live in the park I have been chased I escape in the bushs I listen to to all the other animal's talk I know about cats but what is this "road kill thing? paladin [This message has been edited by paladin (edited 08-08-2001).] |

many people have felt that hole in the screen and taken the first true escape... " I walked beside the evening sea And dreamed a dream that could not be" George William Curtis" |
