Bella notta. The dogs
And their stereotypes
On a date are in love.
Night, so long ago
Now, just as it begins
Again. What will I dream?
More than I will recall,
Less than the in-betweenAnd their stereotypes
On a date are in love.
Night, so long ago
Now, just as it begins
Again. What will I dream?
More than I will recall,
Has to say re such dreams.
There was a time. Scotties
Talked to other canines
As Americans thought
Scots might talk to Scotsmen.
Disney ran the planet.
Sputnik scared McCarthy.
(We're not attempting truth
In history here: we're
A little bit weirder.)
A cocker-spaniel might
Be innocent as Eve.
Frank Sinatra might
Serve model for a mutt.
Italians added vowels.
Cats were evil Asians.
Life made sense except when
It terrified children.
Everything and nothing
Has changed since then. We are
Your own dreams, if you please.
If you don't, we won't please.
