All Hamsters Go To Heaven

 

Our furry friend puts us to shame

In the giving of his faith,

Of his eating of his straw

Or his gestures in saving face.

 

He nods to his mortal prison,

And casts a glow on our misgivings,

He takes what he\'s offered

And doubles the interest risen.

 

A better example we\'ve never known

Nor a finer hamster does there exist,

Never knowing just what it is he does

Or the temptations that he resists.

 

He believes in us as you do,

With a chipper tooth to shine,

So if you\'re up there take a listen

Of this wonderful mate of mine.

 

I\'m telling you now, God

Wherever you may be;

If you don\'t take that hamster

Then we\'ll give him willingly!

 

Dedicated to Orchidee.

(All in good fun. I think he\'s the orange one.)
