Trixie the Hamster

Trixie was a brown hamster
Who loved to run around,
Up and down his cage
Is where he could be found.

Trixie was a fluffy hamster
Quite lovely to touch,
He liked to sit in your hand
He loved it very much.

Trixie was a happy hamster
He always liked to munch,
On grains and bits of apple
He never missed a lunch.

Trixie was a cowardly hamster
He would run away a lot,
Even from his three-legged son
Like he might be shot.

Trixie was a naughty hamster
He kept on running away,
I had to bolt down his door
To make sure that he would stay.

Trixie was now an unhappy hamster
As he was never allowed out,
If he’d been able to talk
I’m sure he’d love to yell at me and shout.

Trixie is an ex-hamster
They don’t live very long,
Next time I’ll get a modified slug
Cause they’re durable and strong.
…And they’re slimy.
