A LITTLE Dog-Woggy Once walked round the World: So he shut up his house; and, forgetting His two puppy-children Locked in there, he curled Up his tail in pink bombazine netting, And set out To walk round The World. He walked to Chicago, And heard of the Fair -- Walked on to New York, where he @3never,@1 -- In fact, he discovered That many folks there Thought less of Chicago than ever, As he musing- Ly walked round The World. He walked on to Boston, And round Bunker Hill, Bow-wowed, but no citizen heerd him -- Till he ordered his baggage And called for his bill, And then, bless their souls! how they cheered him, As he gladly Walked on round The World. He walked and walked on For a year and a day -- Dropped down at his own door and panted, Till a teamster came driving Along the highway And told him that house there was ha'nted By the two starve- Dest pups in The World. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...OF JACOPO DEL SELLAIO by EZRA POUND SONGS ON THE VOICES OF BIRDS; SEA-MEWS IN WINTER TIME by JEAN INGELOW TO THE CUCKOO (1) by WILLIAM WORDSWORTH POEM FOR PICTURE: TO A PORTRAIT BY EDWARD STEICHEN (RACHMANINOFF) by FRANK ANKENBRAND JR.
