Happy Pet-Buying Couple Psa
home sweet home
came the first couple months
and when moving in together
they started to dream of all the things
that they would do &
they started to plan &
with the plan came the telling of the
friends &
with the telling of the friends came the
spending even more time with the
friends outside the time that they had spent
alone at the house &
with the time outside the house came more
preparation time at the house &
with all the time being spent,
in a mutual ridiculous notion,
they decided that it was time to get a pet
because a pet for a couple is a starting point---
the couple’s pet roams around the house
as pets do, but somehow the way a couple talks
about the pet & the way the pet is defined by the
couple sounds a lot like a couple of people who think
that they have a kid---
yeah, that’s it…an actual living, breathing, human being---
the pet that the couple went & got from a pet store is
supposed to be some kind of practice-kid,
like the next step in a relationship
that they both think is going well,
so that if they were to get married &
if they were to have a kid,
well, most certainly,
taking care of a little dog
must be exactly like taking care of a
baby, no?
someone please get a 2x4 or perhaps a 4x4 &
slap people who think like this up side the head
for being such ****ing idiots.
thanks for your time.
