Puppy Love 1 - flash fiction

Puppy Love

I wrote a poem, he told her. About the puppy. He read aloud:

So cute

So sweet

Such a pretty little girl

Red of tooth and claw pretty little girl

Gnawer of table legs 

Chewer of electrical cords

Devourer of shoes

She said nothing. Now he’s writing poetry, she thought.
