Puppy preferencing

In an effort to let me sit

and also keep the puppy happy

I pick him up and feed him

the Liberal Party propaganda flyer

which has been sitting ignored

in the letterbox for two weeks.

(When you have to step

between puppy poos

and then stick your hand between

wire teeth to get your mail

it’s just too hard

to bother with the political poo

in the letterbox.)

I try to take a photo

of the puppy

chewing on the propaganda.

But even he is dissatisfied

and runs off with a dirty sock.

Good choice,

I say.
