He came into my pet store one day
looking for a golden retriever.
In football terms, he was no tight end,
so must have been a receiver.

He said he wanted companionship
with minimal fuss or bother
and feeling sorry for such as he
I took him home to meet my father.

Two days of wedded bliss had we
till his socks began to stink
his jockeys lay under the bed
his dirty dishes in the sink!

He didn’t work, not a lick,
he said he hurt his hips.
So he sat in front of my TV
eating salsa and some chips!

At night he cooed and stroked me
hoping for a little action.
Little did I know he was not
into giving me satisfaction!

If I had a receipt of purchase
I’d take him back to the store
trade him in, get my refund
and get another boar!

This is so funny, PDV...but it is also very sad...and so I hope it also isn't very true.
