Furry

Black fur
With a touch of gold
The first time I met you
I was scared to hold
Your tiny body that was soft like jelly
I watched my Dad feed you hay and tickle your belly

You didn't look
Much like a pig
More like a hedgehog
In a hamsters wig
But you were the first friend I ever had
I fed you all the coco pops in the land

I ran downstairs
Everyday
Before breakfast
I'd run to your cage
And hear your squeaking your way of saying hello
After eight sunny years
I woke up and knew

I got to the cage
And the hutch was silent
No - one else was awake
I opened the roof like a miner
Peering into the mass of straw
You were fast asleep
With both claws
Pink and lifeless wrapped around a piece of hay
I buried you in the garden and cried for ten days
