A Hutch Full Of Guinea Pigs : Funny Poetry

I thought I'd buy a pet guinea pig and so I made my way , 

to the pet shop in the village where the prices are ok .

I checked each one carefully, making eye contact here and there,

with the furry little creatures , so they would know that I care .

I took my time picking one and decided to bring one home ,

I chose one in the corner of a cage sitting all alone .

I took my guinea pig home in an empty shoebox that day ,

I put it in a wooden hutch with the floor covered in hay .

Next morning when I went to feed it I couldn't help but grin ,

I'd bought a pregnant guinea pig and grabbed myself a bargain .

Five for the price of one .

Who could have known?

What a lucky touch !

Now I have five guinea pigs running around inside the hutch .
