Dogging it

02/03/10 | by David Raffin [mail] | Categories: VN content, Writing

It is true that in these days of budget cutting there is still money in pampering pets.
Effective immediately, I hereby announce I am available to read poetry to your pets.
My original plan was to make myself available to read poetry to your dogs. After carefully considering my business plan I have broadened this from “dogs” to the more generic “pets.” Who am I to deny the love of poetry to your cats, birds, and snapping turtles? My business is inclusive rather than exclusive.

It is only natural that I would eventually strike out in this direction. For years dogs have looked at me as if I were about to read poetry to them. They would stare at me quietly, tilt their head to one side, and wait expectantly. I don’t know why I didn’t take this clue and begin reading poetry to them spontaneously years ago. I guess it’s because I wasn’t being paid.

My services do not stop at poetry either. While it is true I do not bathe, clip, or walk pets; I do read things to them other than poetry. I also specialize in reading, for the benefit of animals, works of existential philosophy and biographies of great physicists.
Why not pamper your pet with the works of Friedrich Nietzsche, Soren Kierkegaard, or the autobiography of Richard Feynman? You’ll be glad you did.

There is also another niche market I am eager to exploit. I am available, immediately, to read the Bible to your pets. I wish to assert that I do this at quite a reasonable price, since, after all, we’re talking about your pets soul here. And, it’s really a job you should be doing, indoctrinating your pet into your faith. But I am glad to be here to help.
Again, my prices are reasonable, and, optionally, you can choose to have me read to them your entire holy book or pick and choose what you want your pet to believe.

Franchising opportunities available.

Vision? Nary!
"Not since radical physicist Benny Hill first postulated that time slowed down while being chased by bikini-clad women; however, from the vantage point of the viewer, time sped up, have the masses been witness to such a momentous spectacle."
