Laurie was truly my very best friend,
Ready to comfort, to help, and defend.
I never was bitten,
I never was scratched.
He never used teeth,
Even if he was out-matched.
A teddy bear hamster,
Black and white.
I often heard scratching,
During the night.
He would sleep through the day,
then run lots at night.
Eat seeds and refreshments,
But never would fight.
Laurie was truly my very best friend,
Ready to comfort, to help, and defend.
