Once I had a guinea pig,

Then I got one more.

Then shortly and suddenly, I acquired four.

But just as I was happy, I suddenly had eight!

Eight was good, eight was great, eight was fine, eight was lean,

But suddenly I had sixteen!

"Oh no!" I thought, "This can't be so!", for all my food was starting to go.

There was guinea pig droppings and guinea pig poo and then, of course, I had thirty two!

Thirty two guinea pigs! 

I started to moan, "That's the most guinea pigs I've ever owned!"

All of a sudden I was quite mad, too many guinea pigs, that is quite bad.

They have cute lovable features.

They are cute lovbale creatures.

But only have one or two or you'll be in a mess of unescapeable poo!

So I decided to get to the middle of it, right in the middle of the guinea pig pit,

Sat the first two guinea pigs, number one and number two,

Looking quite happy as guinea pigs do.

"I love guinea pigs!" I told them, "I really do, but one two many is thirty two!"

"Okay," said the guinea pigs, "we'll have a truce, but just so you know, we easily produce."

"You're speaking!" I yelled both appalled yet restored, but now if you counted there were sixty four.

"Oh no!" I screamed, for their guinea pig feast was coming to a stop at the very least.

"Give us more food!" they said to my face, so I stood up with very much haste,

I looked in every nook and cranny  had,

With sweat on my face thinking, 'This is bad!'

But all the food was cooked and raw meat and that is not what guinea pigs eat.

But then I thought, "I'll scare them away! Then I'll have a guinea pig free day!" 

So I it shook at them, "Here's what you'll eat!" 

"You're out of your mind that is only raw meat!"

"Then go out of my house  and find your kinds of eats!"

Then they all ran to my greatest pleasure,

To find something that came up to their measure. 

Then under a floor board I found some lettuce for me to eat,

but guineas one and two were still on their seat. 

"I'm sorry," they said, "but please share you meal!

You like your two guineas, don't we appeal?"

"Not too much after what I've gone through, but, I guess, I love my two."


The author's comments:

I myself have a guinea pig named Sirius Black after the Harry Potter book character. He is the most adorable little guinea pig and I like poetry. So I sat down and wrote this. I myself have never owned sixty four guinea pigs but it sound like a lot of work.
