Eeeeeeeeeeeep,eeeeeeeeeeeep.eeeeeeeeeep

I,Hampster,sit alone in a cage
by a wire wheel hung on the side
My paws hold s leaf of lettuce at my busy mouth

I'm fat,bored and lazy
and I sleep all the time

The floor of shredded newspaper is my
toilet and bed

The kid who owns me hardly gives me a nod

Ig it was'nt for his mother
I would surely be dead

I hear him comming
I panic and run on the wire wheel
going no where

Eeeeeeeeeep,eeeeeeeeeep,eeeeeeeeeeeep

I see his face pressed against
the bars of the cage
He has a stupid grin plastered on his face

Eeeeeeeeeep,eeeeeeeeeep,eeeeeeeeeeeep

Heisliftingthelockonthecagedoorheopensthedoor
andthrustsishandinsideandgropeswildlyformeIrunaroundthecagetryingtoavoidhisgraspbuttonoavaile

Eeeeeeeeeeep,eeeeeeeeep,eeeeeeeeeeeep

He grips me painfully in his sweaty fist
This is the part I really hate most
He rubs my fur the wrong way
Till I look like I have been struck
by lighting

Eeeeeeeeeeeep,eeeeeeeeep,eeeeeeeeeeeep

Now he shoves a foul smeeling pellet in my face

My body fills with a rage that uver 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
He probes franticly for me
But I'm not there

Eeeeeeeeeeeep,eeeeeeeeeep,eeeeeeeeeeeep

Now I am free
My heart leaps for joy

I live in the park now
I have been chased
But I evade them in the bushes
I listen to all the other animals talk
I know about cats and kids
But what is this
"Road kill" thing?

Paladin...
as a chipmunk, I can sympathize with that poor hamster.  Although I don't have a wire wheel and a cage, and I live in a house.  I also drive a car and although I have never meant to...have probably been responsible for some of that roadkill.

I love the poem...especially that part about the little hamster running around with the kid chasing him.

paladin,
what a hilarious story, I can vouch for the fact it happened just like that when my son had a guinea pig, only the jungle was the backyard it took us three days to find it.

ROFLMAO!!! I love this, paladin. Perhaps runaway hamsters are the origin of our giant rodents... they don't understand the concept of road kill either... so they are. *S*
