“Puppies make great Christmas gifts”,
the pet-shop lady said.
My daughter knew better at 4-years-old
and stopped to bow her head:
“Lord, forgive this silly fool,
she knows not what she does,
she likely never finished school,
may we take her home with us?”
She taught the pet-shop lady well
that pups were not like toys;
they pee and poop and vandalize—
and make a lot of noise.
So, lesson learned she quit her job,
but still inclined to sales,
she took her new crusade online:
a site called ‘Fishy tales’.
Our nature is to nurture!
the mission statement said,
Teach responsibility!
And next here’s how it read:
Some draw tadpoles from muddy pools
and some paint faces on rocks,
but here we sell the gift of life,
for ninety-nine cents a box.
Day 2 was fun. Thanks Milo.
