Doggerel

Here's one I missed when it arrived:



Awwwwwwwwww. This is the cover of Doggerel: Poems About Dogs (821.08 D677), selected and edited by Carmela Ciuraru. It's full of gems like this one from Herbert Asquith.

The Hairy Dog

My dog's so furry I've not seen
His face for years and years;
His eyes are buried out of sight,
I only guess his ears.

When people ask me for his breed,
I do not know or care;
He has the beauty of them all
Hidden beneath his hair.
