The next in the poetry series is a small one from Alexander Pope. The title is: "Epigram: Engraved on the Collar of a Dog Which I Gave to His Royal Highness". The poem, in its entirety:
I am his Highness' dog at Kew;
Pray tell me, sir, whose dog are you?
A lovely little poem, whose title is actually longer than its body! I bet that doesn't happen very often! As I said, it's lovely. The tone is nice and light. You can easily picture a dog thinking/saying that exact thing.
