Thomas Henry Kendall

“ Grey pussy is his crony,
And kittens mount upon his back,
As youngsters mount a pony.
They talk of man's superior sense,
And charge the few with treason
Who think a dog's intelligence
Is very like our reason. ”

“ The pup may sleep outside with Spot –
We'll keep the nook for Rover.
