Don't Get Shot in the Head

Gone, but not forgotten

+++ Taco Bell +++ 🌮🔔

used to have a chihuahua mascot.

I heard it died.

I cried.

The rumor is

that it was shot in the head

by a lady governor from South Dakota

without any due process

and then its corpse was taken

to El Salvador

where it was eaten 😯

with onions, red sauce, and cilantro.

It was gruesome, inhuman, 😨😨

(Republican.)

And the dog killer

bragged about it in her book.

😨😱😱😱😱

Thank God it's 4/20

so I can forget all that.

We all know the peace and buzz

that this day brings.

Hey Big Bunny!

You can skip the bougie eggs

and sweet marshmallow peeps

in favor of something more herbal.

<wink, wink, nudge, nudge>

But...

<heavy sigh>

Even this comingled event

is somewhat tragic

since 4/20 and this holiday

won't fall on the same date again

until 2087! 😢

Fucked up, right? 😫😫😫😫

R.I.P. Taco Bell chihuahua

We miss you.

😭😭😭

Oh well, 🤷⚡

to console us,

At least we have double cheesy beef burritos.

🔥🔥🔥 Extra diablo sauce for mine, Peter. ⚡ 🔥🔥🔥

HAPPY EASTER!

This poem is in jest. This is the=> truth about Gidget.

{EDIT-- After seeing the concern displayed in the comments for this dog, I decided to add this for context. Gidget was not shot or eaten! 😂🤣🤣⚡}

Two tacos for just .99 cents?!?!?

Oh, the good ole days!
