Hamster

Somebody’s stolen my hamster

It was there when I went up to bed

My sister is sitting there laughing

And saying my hamster is dead
.

She thinks that it’s ever so funny

That Hammy keeled over and died

Then she showed me where Hammy was buried

And I fell to my knees and I cried
.

The tears only lasted a minute

When a thought entered into my head

If my hamster has gone up to heaven

Can I have a new puppy instead ?
