Cal - interim high priest of the Church of the Holy Tail

I'm sorry to tell you all Travis is gone

smiley - wah

Gone to the great hamster cage in the sky

smiley - cry

smiley - erm I think he gave himself a heart attack from whizzing round his wheel so much (you should consider this when you're moaning about Elton, bless his little hairy feet)

and so as a mark of respect smiley - brave



Ode to Travis

Travis oh Travis where did you go
Did you not know we loved you so
Watching you whizz around your wheel
and nibble delicately at your meal

Climbing the walls of your cage
Biting Cal's finger in a rage
Scott the hamster tamer comes to calm
Pointing out that Cal means you no harm

Now we are left with an empty cage
Used paper from a newspaper page
A new packet of finger plasters
For Cal's bitten finger disasters

So rest little Travis, please rest well
And of your antics we'll be sure to tell
All and everyone that we might know
So that you're memory will, forever, stay aglow

*sniff*

Amazon actually has it listed. I thought that was just a joke for the comic strip.

Maybe it's a new hobby.

My brother used to build model airplanes, now he plays the bagpipes.
