LATIN;
Now morning finds huddied neap
OF tired doglings sound asleep:
"a mink foot here and a brown leg there,
With noses poked out everywhere
And coiled on top a flattened ball
The littlest, coolest pup Of all.
He sudden wakes with chilly shrink
And frightened eyes that a moment
blink,
FOR slowly he begins to slide
As something st1rs the pile inside.
Then down he comes like ball that's
rolled,
And blacks and whites and browns are
bowled
All ways by something wriggling hard
A fuzzy. baby Saint Bernard!
whose look would say ooh what bore
To be so puppy-plastered Ger
why can't a fellow take his ease?
BEATS all I'VE ever heard of fleas!'
Then seems to add in high disgust,
"And see how badly my coat is mussed;
Now with shake) | want 1t known
This coat Is mine, and mine alone!"
And so each tiny TERROR, hound,
And coach-dog ruefully sits around
AS if he wondered where and when
He'd find a coy spot again.
