-
A mutt, it seems, had strayed away,
To a tile-roofed cottage that showery day,
He sniffed the grass, he sniffed the air,
He sniffed without the slightest care,
Concern arose from within that place,
And from that window arose a face,
A face most grim, lost hope for sure,
That set itself scurrying t'ward the door,
The mutt now looked an excitable chap,
And jammed his head into the small cat-flap,
And though the man seemed unfriendly to boot,
He was rather partial to a bit of free 'loot',
The door swung forth, with a hiss in the rain,
And the dear little mutt was never seen again,
This man, who we had thought so meek,
Then enjoyed fresh meat for the following week!

Oh, the whimsy! One needs to keep up small exercises, just to maintain oneself.
