In any case, the perfect mascot is The
Gerbils. If, for example, the Georgetown Gerbils entered the tourney, they
would be sure to win it all. A Gerbil is the perfect mixture of speed with
curiosity, diminutive in size yet persistent and undaunted. A Gerbil will not
stop until a task is finished - such as ripping an egg carton to shreds. A
Gerbil would similarly rip an opponent to shreds in the sports arena. Yet a
Gerbil will look adorable doing so; hence, everyone will cheer for the Gerbil. The
Gerbil is the epitome of courage, teamwork, and climbing/burrowing ability.
The other day I ate my dinner in the bathroom
while Savvy the gerbil toured around the room. I gave her a bit of my hamburger
bun for a treat. Before I knew it, Savvy clamored up onto my plate and surely
would have started eating my hamburger bun right then and there had I not
pulled it to safety. She then proceeded to climb onto my shoulder and lean out
precariously in the direction of my hamburger. I guess gerbils really like
bread.
so adorable, so intimidating
