NIP AND TUCK by OLIVER MURRAY EDWARDS

First Line: BOTH NIP AND TUCK ARE SPANIEL PUPS
Last Line: OR BONES BENEATH THE GROUND!
Subject(s): ANIMALS; BONES; DOGS;

Both Nip and Tuck are spaniel pups
To whom the world is new;
They wander 'round the universe
To find what they can chew.
And when they get the stomach ache
We wonder what they found—
A dead fish lying on the shore,
Or bones beneath the ground!
