Hammrick

There once was a hammie named Joe
Who ate all his O's on the go,

He was carried around
His munchies, profound!

He could barely wave 'Cheerio!"

Wee_hammle

OMG, I know you can write one better than that, Winnie!

Perhaps Michelle (of the kitties in boxes in the driveway fame) will turn her creative abilities to crafting a poem? Your limerick is pretty cute, tho, Meg. Now I have visions of little hammies with British accents....

...the go go power of Cheerios! ;)

Dear gawd, the Cheerio is almost as big as his HEAD!

This picture has been enlarged to show texture....of both the Cheerio AND Hammie!

Well, it's not a limerick, but...

Oh, oh, oh, Who's that hammie with the crunchy goodness,
Gnawing wafery rounded munchies like theyz almost' outta fashion,
With such teeny weeny hands to grip a breakfast that is smashin'
Prompts a cute a-cravin', lovin', obsessin' crowd to say We-love-you-Joe
(We-thaaank-CO)

Isn't that a gerbil or mouse?

MSNBC's Animal Track picture thing is new today. Bat ear foxes, tamarins (two in a persons hand), a pug...

There once was a hamster named Joe
His master's palm he had made his home
His owner once made a fist
And Joe he narrowly missed
Yet where else has he to go?

Does not usually the larger thing eat the smaller thing? Since both elements are almost the same size in this picture maybe the hammie was hunting the cheerio in a pack with other hammies. This photo is so cute I just fainted.

rules 11, 14, and 15 have been met. this is the CCT (coveted cuteness trifecta).

Wee claws, BEF: all focused on a toasted breakfast snack. It would be cute if it wasn't clear that that O was about to disintegrate like a vampire on the wrong side of a crucifix.

That Cheerio hasn't a chance against his mighty hammie powers.

What is it about Cheerios? My tabby goes apeshit for them. They're like crack to her. Luckily, being round, I can toss one for her to chase down before she comes hurling herself back at me for more.

adorab-ham. i could write a better poem than that though. Here it goes:
Little ham, what are you doing?
you most surely aren't sewing
your little mouth is moving to and fro
why, your eating a cheerio!

that breakfast food is practically bigger than you
but your just doing what little hams do
your nibble nibble crunching all day long
it might even inspire me to write a song


okay, so maybe i can't...

A hamster so loved his O’s
He’d take them wherever he’d go
When he ran out of food
The fingers looked good
Oh then how the owner would grown

When Cuteness Kills... (Or Sweeney Hamster)

Fear the small hamsters so cute
When on your palm tiny paws root
Those cereal killers
Like animal fillers
You might be their new favorite loot

Elizabeth

I think that's a gerbil. I've had both and it doesn't look like a hamster (unless maybe it's a Dwarf Hamster?).

JR
 |  Jun 21, 2006 at 04:52 PM

that is a baby Djungarian hamster... there's one sitting on my desk right now :) but she doesn't like Cheerios... just yogurt lids! yumm!

There once was a hammie named Noel
Who stole Cheerios out of the bowl.
With many wee little bites
He'd nibble them out of site
And head back and grab some more.

Lizzy

awwwwwwww so cute! so tiny

Mia
 |  Jun 21, 2006 at 06:30 PM

c'mon you guys...meg's hamrick was the closest to scanning...

Dara
 |  Jun 21, 2006 at 07:14 PM

AHEM!!! *Cough*

There once was a hammie so small
That next to him bugs would look tall
He rests in your hand
With lil’toes so grand
And that’s why he is the greatest of all!

Claire
 |  Jun 21, 2006 at 07:59 PM

still not scanning...although really cude, claire!

Dara
 |  Jun 21, 2006 at 08:02 PM

Crap a rat. The hammerick sounds better without the "and" in the last stanza. Oh well T_T

Claire
 |  Jun 21, 2006 at 08:04 PM

you are correct! hee...love the hamm(e)ricks!

Dara
 |  Jun 21, 2006 at 08:06 PM

There once was a hammie who nibbled
On a giant Cheerio kibble
His twee little frame
Put the Japanese to shame
Oh, crap, I hope I didn't start up a quibble...

TheIdleReceptionist
 |  Jun 21, 2006 at 09:29 PM

no quibbles, but no scansion, either...sorry to belabor...maybe we should do haiku?

"Ham eats Cheerios
Sees his future in a palm
Low cholesterol"

Look - I haven't written one of these since junior high school!

Aubrey

Hamku

Dainty paws grasping
A rounded crunchy morsel
Cute? That's a given

Hamerick

There was a young hammie named Jude
Who's body was round as his food
Perched high on a palm
He crunched without qualm
Then let out a belch... How rude

Hammet (Shakespearean)

Oh hammie thou art so round, and fluffy
None can compare with the grace of thy ways
Dainty paws hold round cereals puffy
Cuteness, I'll be thy thrall for all my days

Oh thy beedy eyes gleeming onyx bright
Your fixed gaze is not for me


EricaE
 |  Jun 21, 2006 at 10:27 PM

Ack! I accidently posted before finishing the hammet.
*Sigh* I was making it up as I went along. I will finish it tomorrow. Too sleepy now.

EricaE
 |  Jun 21, 2006 at 10:28 PM

Hammet (Shakespearean) -finished. I was going to write a Petrarchan hammet too but I thought that might be a bit much. ;o)

Oh hammie thou art so round, and fluffy
None can compare with the grace of thy ways
Dainty paws hold round cereals puffy
Cuteness, I'll be thy thrall for all my days

Oh thy beedy eyes gleeming onyx bright
Your fixed gaze is not for me forsooth
Only round morsels can cause their rare light
As thou cruncheth with tiny hammie tooth

Complacently thou sit-eth in my hand
For me thou shalt never have a one thought
Thy fluffy countenence ever so grand,
Munching merrily on thy fleshy plot

And so into the box I reach once more,
So I might feed thee hammie I adore

EricaE

There once was a hammy named Joe
Who set out to eat a whole O

As he nibbled his lunch
The gawkers ogled each munch

'Til all that was left was on "Oh!"

Cal
 |  Jun 21, 2006 at 11:51 PM

I like EricaE's hammerick best so far. Keep 'em coming! :)

Marvelous Hammet, Erica! Masterful job!

 |  Jun 22, 2006 at 02:24 AM

That's a gerbil. His eyes are more on the sides. I have a dwarf hammy and they don't look like that.

But he's cute!

Dan
 |  Jun 22, 2006 at 03:15 AM

I totally love the *intense* look of concentration in his beady little eyes...and the teeny tiny wee claws extended into the helpless O

that's all very well but I'm waiting for my daily fix of bun. WHERE IS IT?!?

dwine
 |  Jun 22, 2006 at 04:54 AM

This critter is not a palm-filler
Is he hamster? No, he looks gerbil-ler
But he munches those O's
Which he holds with his toes -
You might call him a cereal killer!

Camille
 |  Jun 22, 2006 at 05:26 AM

Why thank-you, Loopy.

A dash of insomnia and English Literature BA... That's my recipe for disaster... erm hammetry.

Kids, just say no to a degree in English or you'll wind up like me.

Oh... the horror. ;o)

Num num num num num num num num...

Awwwwwwwww! :)

Donna
 |  Jun 22, 2006 at 06:29 AM

HEEHEE...he looks as if he is putting a spell on the cheerio with that look in his eye...

 |  Jun 22, 2006 at 06:33 AM

"anyone who tries to steal this Cheerio will be VERY VERY sorry!! ....and I don't care how much bigger he is! I'll bite his knee caps! . . . or his toenails, or the bottom of his foot! Nevertheless, he will be VERY sorry to have messed with MY Cheerio!!"
