DOGGEREL

                  Did anybody ever see
               Such darling dogs as these?
          Their names were all made up by me,
              Do try to guess them, please!
          They're funny names, but they express
                  Dog nature very well.
           Try once, and see if you can guess,
                And if you can't, I'll tell.
           Ah, yes, I knew that you would say
                Fido, and Gyp, and Spot,
            Rover, and Carlo, Towser Tray, -
                But, anyway, they're not!
          They're Dogstar, Dogberry, Dogfish,
             Dogwood, Dogwatch, Dogrose:
             Nobody, I am sure, could wish
             More doggy names than those!
 
 
                   I LOVE MY DOGS
                 THIS IS THEIR HOME
                 FROM WHICH I HOPE
                THEY’LL NEVER ROOM
             THEY’RE FAITHFUL FRIENDS
                  I LOVE THEM BEST
                 THIS IS THEIR HOME
                  YOU ARE A GUEST
                   IF DOGS TO YOU
                  ARE JUST A PEEVE
                 THEN BY ALL MEANS
                 FEEL FREE TO LEAVE
