Sadie was a lady though she was still a girl
We brought her home one day to give her wheel a whirl

But what should happen in a week?
We really were quite puzzled
Cause all her shavings she would sneak
Into the wheel she nuzzled

Then to our great surprise
Small pink things started crawling
In the wheel before our eyes
The population sprawling

So lest the hamster boys and girls be separate from the go
A hamster mom you may adopt with family soon to grow

One day home from play
I put Marjorie in the peep hole
But a piece had gone away
And Marjorie fell down the deep hole

She dropped into the door
We popped if off the hinges
And laid it on the floor
We crouching at the fringes

You see the door had channels
For Marjorie to run through
Within the door's panels
Was a hamster maze quite true

An hour past and we could tell
She was still alive within
We put out lettuce for her to smell
Waiting, eager, with hope thin

Alas we thought her lost fore'er
And door to pins needed return
But, Marjorie exited out to the air
So we could sleep without concern

Whew!
