Hamster Man
C. Frances-Hoad
He's one-half hamster, one-half man,
he rides around in a caravan.
He's six-foot tall with furry ears
(and 107 in hamster years).
He answers the phone with three sharp squeaks.
He stores ham sandwiches in his cheeks.
His wits are as sharp as his two front teeth
but he turns to mush when scratched beneath
his chin. Oh Hamster Man's the real deal,
running all night on his giant wheel.
He's one of a kind, there ain't no clan
of rodent men, just Hamster Man.
