The Bumble Puppy

by Carolyn Wells 1862–1942

From A Phenomenal Fauna

Living

This is the Bumblepuppy. He's quite tame,
Although he's said to be a sort of game.
You scorn him, yet you must--ah, there's the rub--
Accept him at your table or your club.
He has his points, yet he's a pest, indeed;
I would we could exterminate the breed.
