This poem received third prize in the Cavies Galore song, story, and poem contest!

They purr, they jump,
They click, they squeak
The common name for that
Is "Wheeeeeeeek"

They make you want to
Dance and smile
They're cute and cuddly
All the while.

What are these things?
People may say,
GUINEA PIGS!
You will answer today.

Guinea pigs are
What keep me alive
The very life source
On which I thrive!

(Okay I'm taking this way too far)
But if guinea pigs "were not"
Then what would "we be?"
