R.I.P. Paul Bunyan

As of this evening, Paul Bunyan (aka Lydia's third gerbil in a month) is no longer living... except for in the memories we (pretty much Lydia) will always cherish in our hearts (her heart).

Paul Bunyan
by Lydia
There once was a gerbil named Paul
Who was sweeter than coffee and gall
One day he caught fright
And passed not in the night
We remember him, timid and small

Your poem is very cute though, in a morbid, depressing way. :P LOL

May Paul Bunyan Rest in peace with Johnny Appleseed and Johnny Peachpit.

Joanna Knowles said...

There's nothing cute about it.

Lydia said...

I resent references to "cute" in regards to a poem I wrote about my beloved pet. That took a lot of feeling. Like two minutes of feeling. You guys don't know what you're talking about.

Lydia said...

Joanna said that sounded mean. Sorry. I wasn't being mean, I promise. I was only partly serious.

Kaybs said...

Tayla,(haha) I was laughing too ;)

Joanna, You must put pictures of the funeral up.

Lydia, I really am sorry for the loss of your pet... I remember when my ginormous eyed fish, Ganondorf and Zen, dyed 2 days after I got them... It was sad...

Lydia said...

I really was kidding for most of it. All I meant was that it "offended" me my poem being called "cute." Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Kaybs said...

LoL no I did get the sarcasm ;)
I was just remembering my fish... anyways, sorry I called your poem cute ;)
