THE DANGEROUS DOG, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: The dangerous dog in the drawing-room lay
Last Line: A bumble-bee close to his head!

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!
