A mum wrote an hilarious poem in memory of her son's hamster - bringing light to an otherwise sad situation.

Julian Junior, 20, lost Bonnet, his hamster of two and a half years, two weeks ago after he died of old age.

Bonnet, named after Julian's similarly grey car bonnet at the time, was sadly found dead in his cage on October 8.

Shortly after he was found, Julian's boyfriend Aaron Hayes, 18, requested a poem as part of an obituary and Julian's mum Beverley Griffiths, 59, immediately obliged.

In just 25 minutes, Beverly whipped up a poem which left Julian, Aaron and herself in hysterics.
