A Guinea Pig

A three line poem describes the characteristics and fate of a guinea pig. It notes that the guinea pig was small in size, walked on its feet, never went hungry when eating, did not stay in one place when running away, never stood still for anyone, often squeaked loudly, knew a mouse wasn't a rat without being taught by a cat, and one day took a whim and died, never living again since.

A Guinea Pig

~Anonymous (circa 1775)


There was a little guinea pig,
Who being little, was not big;
He always walked upon his feet,
And never fasted when he eat.
When from a place he run away,
He never at the place did stay;
And while he run, as I am told,
He never stood still for young or old.
He often squeaked, and sometimes violent,
And when he squeaked he never was silent.
Though never instructed by a cat,
He knew a mouse was not a rat.
One day, as I am certified,
He took a whim, and fairly died;
And as I am told by men of sense,
He never has been living since.
