@Anna, LOVE the alternate version. It'd be fun if someone with a pemmie made one, too.

Thanks, y'all. :)

 @ John, you mean I used a pun appropriately and didn't even know it?!  I wan't aware of that use of the word in the Royal Navy (and I just now realized that cur (dog) + tail = curtail).  Very cool.  (wouldn't work for a docked Pem though)

You are aware, presumably, of the "curtail" pun?

I believe it was it was a traditional pun ikn the Royal Navy about why the Dog Watch is called the Dog Watch (it was split into two abbreviated half-length 2-hr. watches, 1st Dog Watch & 2nd Dog Watch, so each watch could alternately mess for dinner).

"Why is it called the Dog Watch?"

"Because it is curtailed."

Ships had a whole menagerie of animal jargon:  cat, horse, dog, mouse, pigtail, worm, rat, fish...

Loved the photo and poem.  I had fun modifying it a bit to fit  my  Cardi and sent it to my friends:

Here have we a Corgi from Wales

the kind that is bred with long tail

he's brindle and white

and quite  the delight

to celebrate he never fails!

 

I'll be looking for a suitable green tie for him later today. Thanks for the laugh....
