"The Daily Sketch says that the latest from Paris are pet-dog perfumes. Already there are a dozen different kinds, made up in tiny phials. The cost works out at 7/6 a drop." I have a dog -- a real he-hound And when I read him this sad stuff, He rolled a large, brown eye around And savagely commented "Whuff!" I gathered, from his curling lip, How with it he would wipe the mat If once he had within his grip A supper-sissy pup like that. And, if I sought with purpose grim To scent him so, he'd turn and bite The hand that fed and scented him, And, on the whole -- 'twould serve me right.
