Sonnet
Adult Guinea Pig
Every time I open the fridge;
Sprout: I’m a poor starving piggy, slave. Look at me, wasting away to nothing! I am but a shade of my normal...ohhh, hay! *Munch, munch, munch* Ahem, as I was saying, I am but a shade of my normal self. Nothing but skin and bones.
Me: Sprout, you’ve just had food. Now you’ve got a mouthful of hay. You’re not wasting away, in fact you’re pretty well rounded!
Sprout: Behold the eyes of betrayal. You have disappointed me, slave, and now you must face the teeth gnashing of annoyance! And the clamor of bar chewing. Which I will not stop until I get something.
