To be a so called Hunting Dog
presents one with great fear
really a massive quandary
for obviously its clear
whoever you are working with
their sentient quality
if oft on the back burner
closed down temporarily
so if you are deemed to have
transgressed
you can expect the worst
whether you are a duke or duchess
or a prince well you are cursed
you are a flipping canine
loyal, yea maybe so
but whipping boy for
anyone who thinks
you ought to go
and this Royal probably
took the stick to his trusty
hounds
hunters can be like this
they care in fits and bounds
anger can display a kind of crudity
alas
jumping to conclusions
in a world of some morass
wallowing in pity
may be on a bough
and you get in the way mate
and quickly you learn how
A hunting dog
is up to it
he has to take the rough
a bit of good
but he knows he should
get it right
or he could
get a swift one round the ear
and this hunting so
hunting dogs are nervous
in case they get a blow
