I got a pet the other day, Something to help pass time away. Although I didn't really need it, I could well afford to feed it... It seemed a normal thing to do. How ungrateful it became! This animal I thought so tame. Instead of heeding my commands, It growled and glowered at my hands And barked continually, too. It wouldn't give my face a lick. I could not teach it any trick. Although I was the perfect master It's training was a huge disaster. I was at wit's end! I guess I'll have to let it go. I really learned a lesson, though. Oh, what agony begets One who tries at taming pets - I'll never get married again. |

AhHA! The first mistake was in calling it/her a pet! My other surprise is that you wanted a TAME one! LOL. Good job! ------------------ Sunshine Words will always express our feelings true. ~~~ KRJ Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

The Pet’s Retort 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! |
