Hounded

A novice pet store clerk named Keatcue
Was told by a client to have a Shih-Tzu.
The clerk thought that a personal smear,
And barked insults into the client’s ear
Thus putting himself into deep Shih-Tzu doo.

Ha ha ha—best, most gut-wrenching laugh I've had in a week. Thank you (I'm laughing even as I write this). I'm thinking about writing a second edition focusing on the clerk's next job, maybe as a horse groomer.
