Notes About The Poem
For Fire Bird's A Fairytale Or Not, Short Story Poem Poetry Contest
Apparently Argentinian bazaar salesmen are passing off ferrets on steroids as toy poodles -- and people believe them.
A local news report out of Buenos Aires caught the attention of the Daily Mail and other sites this week, after a man took the "toy poodles" he bought at the La Salada market to a veterinarian, only to find that it was actually a giant weasel.

A True and Silly Tale
Do you know the tale about the guy who thought
two small, cute, fluffy poodles he had bought?
But they were not two poodles, for in fact,
the DNA of any dog they lacked.
Do you know what really those “dogs” were?
They were critters with perms put in their fur!
The buyer’s vet then had it verified.
The seller of the “poodles” had lied!
The buyer of them must have have felt so silly.
What were those two beady-eyed things really?
It turns out in fact they were ferrets. What??
Two ferrets given steroids the fool had bought.
