My Guinea Pig

My guinea pig
With the black and brown stripes
And the eyes big and black like space
And tiny little ears
That perk up when he hears the food come.

My guinea pig
Who sits on my lap
As I read, or just watch him
As he shifts tring to find a comfortable position
As he squeaks 
In happiness 
Or annoyance
Or a thousand other emotions

My guinea pig
Who eats all day
And all night
And when he's done
He eats some more
