  My eyes are open wide

  We’ve driven quite some way from home

  Alas I may just cry

  Two approach the cell that holds me

  Tails perk and wave around

  “Who are you all?” I say to them.

  Mother puts my cage down

  Some crumbled paper is exchanged

  Large wads of green and grey

  A shiny beetle opens up

  I’m taken far away

  New siblings give me lots of love

  New parents dote on me

  They scratch my neck and comb my fur

  Now this is home to me
