Gerbil Poem :)

[kimsgerbils]

I wrote this one 3 years ago based on a true story where my friend's gerbil got his head stuck on the wire lid of his cage But he was ok! Here it is:

"The Excitement of Gerbils"

Squeak, squeak, squeak goes the wheel
Gerbils impatiently waiting for their next meal.
"Don't feed them seeds, they tend to get fat,
You don't want them mopey like a lazy old rat!"

Constantly waiting, curious creatures,
with extra long legs and hilarious features;
A tail too long, a nose too flat
ears that look like a little fruit bats'.

Gerbils resting in their bed,
one tries to peek out his head.
His head is now strung on a wire,
his once frantic kicks begin to tire.
Heroically I unstick his fur,
If he were a dog, he would "grrr"

After falling to the ground,
he begins to run 'round and 'round.
Thumping his feet in frantic fright,
He quickily looks up into the light.
Sniffing his friends as he slowly thumps his feet,
He calms down, and slowly, falls asleep.

Babysitting pets for a friend,
the excitement of gerbils will never end.
That night a lesson I frightfully learned,
to watch these creatures at every turn.
