THE DANGEROUS DOG by AMOS RUSSEL WELLS

First Line: THE DANGEROUS DOG IN THE DRAWING-ROOM LAY
Last Line: A BUMBLE-BEE CLOSE TO HIS HEAD!
Subject(s): ANIMALS; DOGS;

The dangerous dog in the drawing-room lay,
And snapped at the houseflies that came in his way.
"I'm a dangerous canine!" he said.
"Beware how you trouble a creature of my --"
But his speech was cut short as he happened to spy
A bumble-bee close to his head!
