This ones about a guinea pig and his name was clive,
hed sit upon my shoulder when id go out for a drive.
Id stroke him id brush him i even cleaned his poo
(thats all part of pet ownership) youll have to do that too.
One thing about clive he was always malting,
I really didnt mind but my kids found it revolting.
I loved him More, than you could have even guessed
hed calm me down, when i was feeling stressed
But One day i had,
the most awful suprise
clive had stopped moving
I couldnt believe my eyes
Was so sad to see him there
My heart, it filled with disrepair
It wasnt right it wasnt fair
Yet all i could do was stare
My daughter asked has he gone like the queen.
As my daughter remembered the coverage on the TV screen
I explained to her it was just like the tragedy
of when great britain had lossed her majosty
Sadly Clive had just stopped breathing
Words can't describe how I was feeling ,
I Had to be strong though and put on a brave face I explained to my daughter nothing will ever take his place
For the love we still have we will forever give
And that will remain for as long as you live
You have to share your memories of things you did together
For if you dont shre them then theyll be gone forever
We will never get over it and that is a fact, we really have no choice we’ll have to adapt.
