My Special Friend

His baby pink nose poking around for food,

With an empty stomach he's in a foul mood;

And then, he spots a wonderful sight,

The glimpse of this carrot is such a delight;

Creamy white and chocolate brown,

His beautiful face never wears a frown;

Bundles of fur scurries around the cage,

He's quite smart for his age;

His fur is like an echidna's spikes,

Pointing in which ever direction it likes;

Black beady eyes  stares fearfully,

As he approaches us carefully;

He and his sisters snuggle together,

From the cold and frost of rainy weather;

The warm laughter and high-pitched shrieking,

After a game of hide and seeking;

Noob has been an amazing companion,

He would've grown to be a champion;

I wish I could forever be with this friend,

But it looks like his life has come to an end.
