Hamsters and Parrots

Having hoovered the lounge
for the third time,

(once for a general tidy
next for removal of 'snow'
finally to gobble rice crispies)

I feel more like a hamster
then ever
stuck
in this wheel

and I'd say, 'fuck it'
but
you're two
and you're a parrot.

LOL

Mine were parrots too but I said it anyway much to the consternation of their aunt, who was subjected to a veritable roundhouse of that particular word I still don't think she has quite forgiven me heehee This was great, you made my day.
