Have you ever seen a poodle chase his tail?
His gaping jaws and panting seem to wail:

“I must get it! I must have it! It is Mine!”

The curly pom-pom bobs just inches from his nose,
The wobbly circle whirls faster as excitement grows,
Stumping loose-jointed limbs and furry feet,
Trying desperately to make both ends meet.

“Must must get it! must must have it! It is Mine!”
