My Special Friend . . .
Gray and white, with big pink ears,
Little nose moving, his beautiful long tail;
Once in a while, a squeak;
A soft friend, with eccentric detail
He dashes across the cage,
As we play hide-and-seek,
Itching and twitching,
He pokes from his house to take a peek.
The small jerky movements;
Yet so full of delight,
If you stick your finger in the cage,
He licks you like a cat, and wouldn't dare bite!
I hold him every day,
We play games with cheer,
He tells me that he's happy,
By whispering 'tsk' noises in my ear!
The best part of all about my little friend,
Some people have allergies,
B
