Newfoundland or not, there's no dog finds it nice

To live very long with its tail in a vice!

I want to get near if I can, but, oh dear!

The Dog to my call won't attend. I

Conceive, if he would, it might be for his good,

I'd hit on some modus vivendi.

But if Dog won't stand still, and if Lobster won't loose,

My heartiest help cannot be of much use.

One ANDROCLES bold eased a lion of old

Of a thorn in his foot—a great worry!
