As I recall, the house was quiet It happened on that fateful night A new member had joined our clan She was neither woman nor man A dog, we named her Pandora As a puppy we adored her We tempted fate, that sobriquet Then came Bud on that fateful day Bud and Pan, they liked each other Soon in time, Pan was a mother First puppy one, then puppy two Then there were six, before we knew Woe is us, houseful of dogs Would we have had that dialogue We might have opted for a cat And saved us from what Pan begat Samson had the longest hair Princess had a face that’s fair Teddy looked just like a bear Pepper liked to sneeze Shadow’s coat was black and white Morgan cowered as in fright All of them barked through the night Every one had fleas Woe is us, houseful of dogs Would we have had that dialogue We might have opted for a cat And saved us from what Pan begat

This was an interesting story that held my attention. I feel like more happened that hasn’t been revealed. I especially liked this stanza: Woe is us, houseful of dogs Would we have had that dialogue We might have opted for a cat And saved us from what Pan begat Naming a dog “Pan” is an intriguing Grek god reference, too!
