I was but a school boy with time on my

side

A+ every assignment and task

Unfettered by malice, by greed or despair

It was all soon to change with one class

It was science oh how I loved it

Hypothetical, experimental, theoretical

Beautiful science with Mr. Bunsen

Every Thursday my favourite teacher

taught me how to think

This was the last day I was to be at primary

school

And Nathan and I were asked to see Mr.

Bunsen in the science lab

Mr. Bunsen needed to speak to Nathan

So I took the liberty of one last farewell of

the science lab

So many memories of dissected mice

And the familiar smell of burnt eyebrows

Out of the corner of my eye I spotted an

unfamiliar cage

I approached it warily

There was a small animal inside

Hamster 405 said the small plaque on the

cage

An experiment in rodent intelligence

It warned me of it's cunning genius

But I laughed it off

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha

How smart could a hamster be?

The cage rattled

What’s that little fella?

You want to get out?

Sorry buddy, no can do, you see the...

Ooo… is that Chocolate?

Don't mind if I do

It only took a moment

I opened the cage and he was gone

And he’d taken the chocolate with him

What had I done!

I had lost Mr. Bunsen's experiment

And unleashed a genius hamster created

by…

Science oh how I loved it

Hypothetical, experimental, theoretical

Beautiful Science it had created

A hamster with such intellect it could take

over the world!

Oh Mr. Bunsen I’m so sorry!
