My Hamster Has A Headache

My Hamster Has A Headache

A Poem by Baz
"

I leave an open invitation for people to suggest extra verses for this poem.The only rules are: -The meter must be exact -You cannot re-use any animal or illness already in the poem.

"
all my pets were feeling ill
it gave me quite a fright
and so I called the local vet
one dark and stormy night

he asked me why i'd called so late
to ask for his advice
so i told him what the problem was
and said (to be precise):

my hamster has a headache
my monkey has the mumps
my chicken has the chicken-pox
my camel lost his humps

my elephant has caught a cold
my tiger bumped his head
my parakeet has lost his voice
my budgie wets the bed

my ant has indigestion
my cow has lost her moo
my beaver has a fever
my polar bear is blue

my hippo has a backache
my kitten has a cough
my bear has halitosis
my zebra's stripes fell off

my shark has got a toothache
my leopard's feeling stressed
my mouse has got a migraine
my turtle is depressed

my snake has tonsillitis
my crocodile has gout
my albatross has vertigo
my panda's hair fell out

my goldfish has the hiccups
my frog has got the flu
all my pets are very sick
what am I to do??

the doctor had a little think
then said as he was yawning:
just give them all two aspirin
and call me in the morning

My Kangaroo has heartburn
My Dolphin has dry eyes
My Raccoon's sick of belching
and wearing his disguise

Another great one Baz. Your rhymes and meter are perfect!

Great stuff. Hilarious. In response to your open invitation, I'll definitely see if my daughter can think of anything to add to this one, she likes writing poems and loves animals, so I'm sure she'll have a few suggestions. You could be the new roald dahl at this rate Baz. I'm very impressed by your writing, spence
