The Hamster

The hamster is sitting there
In his cage looking at me
Wondering if he could escape somewhere
To get out and to be free

So now he is eating his meal
Stuffing some food in his cheeks
And then he plays on his wheel
He could stay on it for weeks

Now he climbs in his house for bed
He will sleep all of the day
You might see him pop out his head
From his little hideaway

But at night he gnaws on the bars
And he keeps me wide awake
I can see him from the light from the stars
Please let me sleep for goodness sake
