POEMS

My Crazy Day

A dog three cats and seventeen rats two ferrets that's not all, I've even got a hamster who runs around in a ball, I've even got a gerbil, chinchillas have I three, I will have to let my cats out I've no time for tea! I've got to clean the cages - chinchillas to let out, I have to feed my degue and chase them all about, my ferrets they need cleaning, my dog she wants a love, I think I will have to wait for peace until I'm up above.

And when I go to bed at night I hope by chance to sleep, but the ruddy rats wont let me for in my bed they sneak, they love to play and frolic, and sometimes bite my bum, the noise they make is dreadful its louder then a drum. I have to Wait until they get tired before I put them back and when they settle down to sleep its then I hit the sack.

My Ferrets

I have two naughty ferrets they are naughty as can be, they love to bite my hands and feet and climb upon my knee.

They climb upon the window and pull my curtains down, Bruno is the worst of them, Tyson is the clown.

They get into the bathroom, they think its ruddy great when they pull my toilet roll to bits, my bath rooms such a state!

The thing that they like doing best is chasing all the cats and jumping on the cages and teasing all the rats.

Sometimes I’ve had enough of them and back to jail they go, but the little sods don't seem to care, its just as if they know.

I always will forgive them, I’ll always let them out, you see I know they love me of that I have no doubt.

My Sam

My name is Sam and I am a rat, I live in a big house, how about that. I run round the bedroom when my boss is a sleep, I even take liberties - good things to eat, I steal all the crisps my boss leaves around, I’ve been known to drink whiskey when some can be found! My boss I do love her I love her to bits, I climb up so high, on her shoulder I sits, I groom all her hair and wash both her ears, and I even sometimes wipe away tears but not very often my boss is a laugh, infact she is crazy and sometimes so daft, but I wouldnt be happy and live where I am if my boss wasn't barmy and my name wasn't Sam.

Chinchillas Three

My name is rocky and I am the boss, My name is Tara and he can get lost. Cheeky is my name and I love to play, for I’m only a baby I’m six months today.

We don't play together for rocky gets mad for he fancies Tara, "he's a bit of a lad." I am rather spoiled so I don't really mind my boss she does love me she is rather kind

She gives us all treats if we have been good its the only time rocky will give her a love But my Tara is smashing she lies by my cage she tells me she loves me till rocky’s on stage

I think when I'm older I’ll get me a wife so I too will have cuddles for the rest of my life then he will be jealous and I will be glad and my boss will say "cheeky’s a bit of a lad"
