Well, here it is again!
An Annual Small Pets Show
Not small in terms of numbers
But around 900 guinea friends
Squeak, squeak!
And other small friends too
Meeces, rats, hamsters
Gerbils, jerboas
'Wee timorous beasties'
Yet not so timorous...
We've had mice and hamsters
As well as the current guineas....
They can be assertive
Scurrying around thier cages
Building their nests
And with sharp teeth and claws!
Ahh, I could not leave one guinea alone
In its cage at the pet shop
They may be brothers!
So I brought them both
To join an existing piggy
Who looks giant-sized now
Bigger than both new piggies put together!
Btu stay not alone too long, you guineas
Exhibited in separate cages
You need company
Friendship - don't we all
Human or non-human
I'm half-human, half guinea-pig
Don't ya know?
Well, in my madder moments!
Aww, why you say to me......
"That'll be 99% of the time then!"
Heehee.

Nor have we got that many guineas, as in the clip!
A smashing deviation from the hymn poems Orchidee. and what a pleasure to read this fine mane my friend..... N
Thanks N. Squeak, squeak!
It's a world I know. I was brought up in a fur and feather environment attending shows all over the country (Dad's speciality was Siberian rabbits) so this has a lot of meaning - enjoyed the read.
Thanks M. We had a 'Fish, Fur, And Feathers' Pet Shop. It closed down, but some years later we had our office there.
Thanks Orchi
I'm glad they all have companions
Lovely creatures
I think of our own dear toffee every time I throw away cabbage scraps he loved hem.
I bet you can't guess what colour he was
Thanks Andrew. Erm, toffee-coloured?! Sort of sandy or ginger?
Oh! you guessed...

Wonderful write devoted to your guineas.
Thanks Christina.
You and your guinea pigs are great friends almost as friendly as you were with your triceratops, both of you and me with my tyrannosaurus rex had some great times eighty three million years ago.
Thanks Gold. Oh yes, I remember us being with them from years ago!
