Goodbye Little Friend

Goodbye little friend

Bronze Bluebell - guinea pig departed

A lovely girl, black, with a bronze patch on one side

 

You lived quite old for a guinea pig - 5 years or more

We brought you two black-and-white girl piggies

As companions, for the last half-year or so of your life

They are still here - like twins they are

We couldn\'t leave just one on its own in the pet shop

 

But you had a good long life

You got worn out with old age

Don\'t some of us humans too?

 

Went downhill fast - as you piggies seem to do so

Eating and drinking and running about

Until about two days from the end

Then reaching the stage

Where it was cruel to let you linger on

 

But now - Rest In Peace

Free from any further sufferings

Gone to Guinea Pig Heaven, I\'m sure
