Week after week

Mondays are usually a drag
while Fridays burst with excitement without fail
~ we’re hamsters at the treadmill

as predictable as a hamster

She is as predictable as a wheel-owning hamster
Running in the same circle, over and over
No matter who she is dating
Not recognizing her relationship wheel

The rest of us see it clearly
Her patterns are predictable
She sabotages each relationship
In a clockwise manner

Dong the same things
In the same way
Saying “that wouldn’t work” to every suggestion
Loving her hamster wheel path

Round and Round the Hamster Goes

Round and round the hamster goes 
when he'll stop nobody knows 
busy busy all the time 
just to earn a blessed dime 
round and round he's always striving 
hanging by a little show string  
Stop a while and count your blessing 
take some time for sweet confessing 
Round and round the hamster goes 
never

Hamster Named Neil

There once was an old hamster named Neil
Who, when he ate too large of a meal
Would rise from the table
And say he was able
But then he’d fall asleep at the wheel

I Wish I Was a Hamster

I wish I was a hamster 
storing food in my cheeks
or a pretty caramel mouse
that sneaks and readily squeaks

I wish I was a lizard
or a horn toad
running in the desert
with a heart of gold

On a Hamster Wheel

overthinking trains of thought ~ creates a loop and ultimately nought

Hammy the Hamster

Hammy the Hamster had no particular talent that he knew.
He did have a long fat tail that spectacularly grew and grew
One day he fell into some paints, and his paws turned out blue.
He made the cutest prints on a canvas, then slid in some glue.

You are an artist! His mother and father said, admiring him

Harry the Hamster

Harry the Hamster
   was a cute little pet
'till the day that
   into a pot he did get

Not a pot of soup, mind you
   nor a pot of beef stew
What Harry got into
   makes most hamsters blue

Not a pot of potatoes
   or a pot of rice
That

Hamsters

I really want a hamster 
I’m sure you’ll want one too
They're usually made of fluff 
From what my mind says to me

You get a hamster 
It would be spinning, spinning, spinning
You watch it for many hours 
You’ll get dizzy, dizzy, dizzy

Hamsters love nibbling saucy fingers
Once you’re done eating 
Just give the whole plate for the

Dinky

I remember Dinky, a hamster family member of mine; I had, her as a kid; a golden teddy bear with, a heart the size of Texas.  Her cage was in the opposite end of our house from my bedroom.  A natural born escape artist; one night as I lay dreaming that there was

On the Hamster Wheel

Always chasing the money, 
Seldom tasting the honey.
Worshipping the drone of work,
Makes me feel like a jerk.
Having no time to think.
How low can I sink?
Everyone else on the same wheel,
No longer know what I feel.
Is my life mostly undone?
Will I ever have any fun?
Cards stacked against me for real,
Let's reshuffle, start a new deal.

Christmas Hamster

Dear Santa, I want a Hamster cage,
A small one with exercise wheel.
You brought one for Roger last year,
Please do what you can, I appeal.

Dad, Can I have a Hamster?

An Ode To My Hamster

The brown and white color on its thick fur makes brown one of my favorite colors. 
When it freezes and not moves, 
Laughter flows through my body. 
When It sleeps I even feel sleepy! 
 
The warmness of it makes me feel warm too. 
 It is so powerfully cute, 
Happiness is me. 
I feel like it wants to say something, 
 
When it stares at

My Hamster

When I got my hamster, 
I was really happy. 
I couldn't keep my happiness in. 
I loved my hamster 
As much it can be loved 
She looked at me, 
She squeaked at me! 
I named her little Laila! 
I kept her, and gave her love!
