The Chinchilla Poem
By Bailey Loveless
I bought a chinchilla to mend a broken heart

Gave it a name,
And stuck it in a cage.
I feed it. Groom it.
And take it out when I want to cuddle while watching TV.
We’re very happy together.
Now all I have to worry about is the thing dying on me.

I have become obsessed with chinchillas. And I definitely think I deserve a new furry friend after my stupid cat ran away on me (he is one of the hormonal beasts I referred too). I will have a chinchilla and I thoroughly plan on watching tv with it.
