Goodbye Furry Friend Minnie!
Fido gives a howl in sorrow too
One guinea pig poorly
Best to put her to sleep, we decided
Fido tells me about guinea pigs -
He says they live about 5 to 7 years
We had that piggy, Minnie Marmalade
For over 3 and half years
They run about their cage
Even hours after giving birth
But they can get lumps and bumps
Outside and inside
And usually go downhill quickly then
All of a sudden sometimes
Such a pity, as one could not tell Minnie was poorly
Except for a lump on her back
Patient piggy too
A vets - cheap - but \'nasty\'
Messing us about somewhat
Cancelling an appointment
Prolonging the agony -
Operate, or put to sleep?
Had to go to a better vets
Of course, no one WANTS to lose a pet
Or put them to sleep
As if they were unwanted
And true pet-lovers
Would NEVER leave a pet at the vets as unwanted
They would always collect them
Goodbye furry friend Minnie
R.I.P.
