Tiny Fat Dogs on a Lazy Man's Salary

The check-out lady acts like it's my fault
the scanner won't read the turkey's barcode.
"Have you tried bug spray?" I suggest.
She glares.
I smile.
I'm not going to eat the thing anyway.
It's for my two chihuahuas.
They'll stay full an entire week.
I glance at the turkey.
It looks like the rest of us:
Once you take the frocks and head off,
it's hard to tell one from another.
Could be why they're so cheap
