For one particular childthe love of a dog
was a lonely solace.
And during a half term
his mother bought him
a new magazine called:
‘The Complete Dog,’
which he kept under
his pillow at night
until some other boys
found it and threw it
from bed to bed chanting:
“The Complete Dog –
plus a tail! Ha Ha Ha.
The Complete Dog –
plus a tail! Ha Ha Ha.
The Complete Dog –
plus a tail! Ha Ha Ha…”
