Limerick for Today
or, For Oxnard
There once was a gray cat from Whitfield,
Who lived in a virtual pitfield.
The hamster got loose,
And was turned into mousse,
Now there's no hamster from Whitfield.
Hmmm...
My kids have had three hamsters: Oxnard, then Penelope, now Darth Vader. They also have the aforementioned cat, named Eliot, and a wonderful chinchilla named Lucky. As you can see from my limerick, Oxnard met an untimely demise at the paws of Eliot. The jury of three children declared Eliot innocent of the charges. I called the cat "Killer" for about a week. Penelope was luckier, and lived a good long hamster life. Darth Vader is the newest acquisition...he's all black with a white spot under his chin. He's also a big hamster... oxymoron?...while the other two were dwarf hamsters.
Say "cheese"!!!!!

Three hamsters and a cat, well, y'know...
It's obvious that one's gonna go.
The Ox or the Penny,
The Vader -- too many!
Or how about all in a row?
When you have kids of three
Better than letting them be
Teach them to be bold,
To have and to hold
A furry little creature wee.
