First Line: The small dogs look at the big dogs
Last Line: That we find minute observation.
Subject(s): Animals; Dogs


The small dogs look at the big dogs;
They observe unwieldly dimensions
And curious imperfections of odor.
Here is a formal male group:
The young men look upon their seniors,
They consider the elderly mind
And observe its inexplicable correlations.

Said Tsin-Tsu:
It is only in small dogs and the young
That we find minute observation.
