I thought as it's Guinea Pig Awareness week, what a lovely way to raise awareness of piggys through the written word.

Please note that any poems shared here may be shared on TGPF social media channels.

I'll start with an ode to one of my first piggies:

There was a piggy called Bea
Whose beauty was a sight to see
On humans she was not keen
And as she was the piggy queen
She would delight in covering them in wee

I'm not great at poetry but I'll give it a go!

There once was a piggy called Samwise,
On a bed of sweet hay he lies,
He chomps it all day,
And popcorns away,
Happiness filling his eyes.

There once was a pig in a sleep,
Who dreamed of the most wonderful heap,
A pile of green vegetables,
So yummy, unforgettable,
But waking up, there were none so he wheeked.

Ode to the piggies


There was a poor piggie called Paul
Who suffered a terrible fall
Lucky for him he was attending the gym
And the mat was incredibly tall

There was a young piggie from France
Who’s owner she joined for a dance
They spun round and round
Till their feet left the ground
And the owner fell into a trance

There was an old piggie called Bob
He was an incredible snob
The rest of the herd thought Bob was a nerd
And far too posh for their mob

There was a pretty piggie from Colorado
Who could not stop eating tomatoes
By the end of the week her fur was so sleek
But her face was all covered in slob

There was a tiny piggie called Kiki
Who Hector thought rather squeaky
When after one night headache turned to delight
And now Hector is just as wheekie

There was a young lady called Posh
Who’s friend Ginger was quite at a loss
Her long luscious hair shed everywhere
To the place where it tickled a lot

There was an old lad called Ted
Who’d sit in the hay in his bed
His mate was called Bill who was never ill
Said I’ll go find some nice meadow grass

There was a handsome piggie called Bill
Who worked down’t road at thy mill
At the end of the day he’d dive in his hay
and stay were lay until dawn

There was a dental piggie with a wonky nasher
Well apart from all that our Ted was a smasher
Ted travelled far and wide with his mate Bill by his side
To see his vet Simon with courage
And after a file Ted could leave with a smile
and get tucked into his forage

There once was a piggie called Hector
Who was dumped in a hedge up in Exeter
He so sad, how could folk be so bad
To leave him with badgers and foxes


There once was a piggie called Ted
Who had a white stripe on his head
He was a handsome dude
And was never rude
To the girlies that wanted his porridge

Little guinea pig meek and mild,
A tight squeeze from a child.
In a flash it's teeth bite down
Upon hopeful crispy, crunchy snack,
But no, no luck this time for sweet piggy,
No lush lettuce, coriander, bean nor treat in sight.
Just a dirty thumb and finger.
Ooh but such delight,
Instant karma is there alright.
 
I’m terrible but for my girl :wub: (Pics won’t work as phone playing up but it’s the piggy on the right of my avatar, and her boyfriend of many years Rupert!)

I once had a piggy called Jess,
Everyone that met her got blessed with her mess,
She was a pee-pee pants gal,
With her white besty pal,
But she was the blooming best ❤
 
Not a lymeric this time...

One little piggie eats grass on the lawn
With no one to talk to afraid and withdrawn
Two little piggies rumble and strut
To see which of them gets to sleep in the hut
Three little piggies need more space to zoom
Their cage getting bigger taking over the room.
Four little piggies running around
Popcorn excitedly, feet leave the ground
Five little piggies munch veggies together
There's lettuce and parsley, cucumber and pepper.
Six little piggies explore a clean pen
Within half an hour it's messy again
Seven little piggies squeak as they walk
It's the cheery and busy content way they talk
Eight little piggies spend time on the floor
Who is the bravest? What will they explore?
Nine little piggies are sleeping all day
Only waking to eat so they don't waste away
Ten little piggies wheeking for food
So run to the fridge or face their attitude.
 
Blade of grass and root of beet
Top of carrot, corn so sweet
Hurry up we need a treat
Fill our bowl with things to eat

Nice fresh grass and dandelion
Picked by hand with rain still on them
Crunchy pepper, green or red
Hurry up, fill the bowl we said

Lots more grass and celery stem
A large-ish piece of banana skin
Fill the bowl human, you know what to do
Feed us with love, for we do so love you20170221_113851.webp
