What’s your political opinion?
Hamster Hamster
Do you want to run for office?
Hamster Hamster
Do you want everyone to be your minion?
Hamster Hamster
Or at this game are you a novice?
Hamster Hamster
Are you a socialist?
Hamster Hamster
Maybe you’re a conservative?
Hamster Hamster
Though you’re probably a fascist
Hamster Hamster
Big fascist hamster with no relative
Hamster Hamster
Are you going to put us all in concentration camps?
Hamster Hamster
Are you going to close all the borders?
Hamster Hamster
Are you going to make us just use lamps?
Hamster Hamster
Or are we all going to become hoarders?
Hamster Hamster
Are you going to make us build you a giant hamster wheel?
Hamster Hamster
Or maybe we will toil in factories making you hamster treats
Hamster Hamster
Is your running mate going to be a big grey seal?
Hamster Hamster
Or maybe we will all be unemployed wandering the streets
Hamster Hamster
There in your little hamster cage
Hamster Hamster
I’m not sure I ever want to let you out
Hamster Hamster
What you might do to us is hard to gauge
Hamster Hamster
So just sit there and pout

This was written for Chelsea Owens’s Terrible Poetry Competition #26. The aim was to write a poem about small rodents’ opinions on political policies.
I did originally paste the poem in comments sections of Chelsea Owens’s post with no intentions of posting it on my blog, but I changed my mind.
I’m not sure if my last post was seen by that many people. It was my response to Sammi Cox’s prompt and you can view it here: Lost In Translation
Please buy me a coffee! 🙂
Heil Hamster! 😎

Deb Whittam is one of my favorite bloggers on WordPress, but I think that one deserves to win Chelsea’s contest hands down… You need to get a beatnik to recite it with bongos in the background…
