Lick For A While Poem by Ima Ryma

The humans just brought me home from
The pet store thinking that I would,
As a cute hamster, be welcome,
And the whole household would feel good.
The household cat apparently
Was gonna be the one who might
Not be sure what to make of me.
So while the humans kept close sight,
The two of us together came,
And was okay 'twixt and 'tween us.
Licks upon me the cat did aim,
Because the cat was curious.

But this licker needs to learn that
Curiosity kills a cat.
