Just For Fun
Guinea Pigs
Neil Harding McAlister
Soft and lazy
Balls of fur.
Guinea Pigs
Will hardly stir.
Exercise
They cannot bear it,
Unless to fetch
A nice, fresh carrot.
Twitching noses,
Shining eyes,
Looks of
Permanent surprise
Greet the day
With peals of glee
When each morning
They see me.
Do they really
Miss their masters
Maybe it’s just
Food they’re after.
Piggies’ brains
Are very small.
Maybe they
Can’t think at all,
And life’s just
One scary muddle
‘Til they get
Their evening cuddle.
Questions only
Cause us grief.
I’ll suspend
My disbelief,
And pretend
Dependency
Is a sign
These pets love me.
