"3 minutes till the pound opens!" it read.
The aching long moment filled me with dread.
I notified a good friend with a quick text,
Then I returned to Chicken Smoothie to see what happened next.
Three minutes then two, one.
I knew all the good pets would soon be gone.
I got the first one that caught my eye and then...
What I got was a rare malk fish from 2010!

The old cs dogs were wandering around
minding their own space
when the new pup skittered on in
and wrecked the whole darn place!
he dug in the trash, he tore up the walls
the dogs went cookoo!
and he skittered about
flopping like a trout
away on his merry way
