Self Respect

Wandering along I espied a mongrel, Scrawny, scaled and starved. Rich lady walking A hefty dog, threw Biscuits to her pet. One rolled over to the stray Which it tried to grab The monster growled fiercely. Out came a skinny lad Clad in tattered clothes Grabbed the stray lovingly. Glared at both the lady and dog Stamped on the biscuit With contempt in his eyes. And from his trouser Drew a stale loaf Fed his pet proudly!   Penmancy gets a small share of every purchase you make through these links, and every little helps us continue bringing you the reads you love!
