Two Dogs.

I do not like my neighbor’s dog. Wero I to size him up, One brief phrase would express It all: "A most ill mannered pup.” He’s vicious, and he has no sense, He even barks at me; And yet my neighbor seems to think There’s no such dog as he. Now, my dog, on the other hand— I’m very fond of him. He’s really gentle as a lamb, Although he looks so grim. And yet my neighbor falls to see His keen intelligence. “Your dog,” he says, “Is vicious, and He hasn’t any sense.” Somerville Journal.
