Ode To My Gerbil
I’m scum, I know, I am an ass
I knew through cardboard you could pass
You chewed and chewed a great big hole,
I wish I knew you had a soul
You ran and laughed, but what you saw
It stomped you flat, it was a paw
That cat, he smirked and ate you raw
He stuffed you in his great big maw
My dear sweet babe, I won’t forget,
Your tiny life and what you met
The fault is mine, and I must pay,
Though when and how, I cannot say
The day will come, my life’s all done,
Until that time I’ll have no fun
