First Line: If you would have a good tyke
Last Line: And footed like a cat
Subject(s): Animals;greyhounds
IF you would have a good tyke,
Of which there are few like,—
He must be headed like a snake,
Necked like a drake.
Backed like a beam,
Sided like a bream,
Tailed like a bat,
And footed like a cat.
