Stupid Stinky Gerbil

I am a beautiful and wonderful cat, No other animal compares to me. Everyone in my house knows that. It’s so clear to see. Other animals wish they were me. I am the queen of this kingdom And I vanquish all my foes, The rodents that used to trespass my domain Are all dead and gone, as everyone knows. And now what I say goes. I get all the attention I get all the catnip and treats I get all the pets and scratches I get all the best spots on cozy seats. I get everything, my life’s complete. But one day, while I dream away Laying in a warm sun spot An enemy invades my kingdom. I wake up and see what the humans brought. I am disgusted by what they bought. The humans call it an “adorable gerbil.” But it’s obviously a rodent, can’t you see? Rodents are our sworn enemy. What is this insanity? What have you humans done to me?

One of the others in the group probably read his fear, for he said, “Don’t worry, it doesn’t hurt at all.” Then No. 2 was lifted by a large hand and his head was stuck inside the circular hole of the contraption. He waited to feel pain. He was turned around and around against the metal and plastic, and to his surprise, it really didn’t hurt. The other No. 2 was right. Soon he was sat back on the table along with the shaven No. 2’s. “You’re looking pretty sharp,” one of them said. No. 2 beamed. He liked his new sharpened lead. His pencil friends were right, he did need a shave.
