DOGGED WANDERINGS...

Monday, December 15, 2003

I received an SMS from my sis on Saturday night, when I was fencing in the dining hall. It was regarding our pet hamster, Sugar. The mother (and grandmom and great-grandmom) of all our dozens of hammies... her time had come.

An Ode to Sugar

Sugar, Sugar, small and white
Running forward on feet so light
Living in your two-storeyed home
With your families, never alone
Wonder what it's like for you
Nothing much in there to do
Nuts to store inside your cheeks
A water bottle which sometimes leaks
A squeaky wheel in which to run
Can't imagine that's much fun
Asleep all day, up all night
Doing backflips with little might
Pepper, your loving caring mate
(Makes you reproduce at such a rate)
You tend to all your tiny ones
For them I say to you, "Well done!"
You've overcame the steepest bend
Now rest in peace my little friend
