I never owned a hamster, but there were always animals on the farm to see, pet, and sometimes hold. The baby gophers, for example, that came out of the gopher hole beneath the crab-apple tree in the back yard.
I asked my sister, "Why doesn't the mother come out? "
My sister said something like, "She's too big."
I thought the poor mother gopher was stuck inside and couldn't get out to enjoy the warmth and tender touch of my hands.
For My Poppy
I sit and watch for hours;
As you clumsily scamper around,
Bashing, Bumping, Crashing, Jumping,
A lovable fur ball; white and brown,
The echo of happiness and contentment,
Your whiskers whisper to me;
A world of perfect bliss
Where I feel completely free.
I teach you to walk the stairs
You master them and race,
Me down them as we play,
Your affection I embrace.
An appetite for all things nice,
Your rainbow eyes settle upon,
The food which I am holding,
And soon out of it, you con.
Now I sit and watch you sleeping,
Peacefully you drift away.
One final goodnight,
To a friend like no other. --Anon
