Jon Payn Poet Light Verse

Hammy the Hamster

Hammy the hamster’s gone to Heaven

We didn’t say goodbye

I loved him oh so dearly

Why did he have to die



I just got up this morning 

And found him in the loo

My little pet, his fur all wet

What am I going to do



My little brother Liam said

Don’t worry, he’ll be fine

I thought he’d like a little swim

Last night at half past nine



Now little Liam is ill in bed

And Mummy’s in a rage

Cos I force fed little Liam

With the bits from Hammy’s cage
