Poem of the Day

"The Song of the Mischievous Dog," by Dylan Thomas

There are many who say that a dog has its day,

And a cat has a number of lives;

There are others who think that a lobster is pink,

And that bees never work in their hives.

There are fewer, of course, who insist that a horse

Has a horn and two humps on its head,

And a fellow who jests that a mare can build nests

Is as rare as a donkey that's red.

Yet in spite of all this, I have moments of bliss,

For I cherish a passion for bones,

And though doubtful of biscuit, I'm willing to risk it,

And love to chase rabbits and stones.

But my greatest delight is to take a good bite

At a calf that is plump and delicious;

And if I indulge in a bite at a bulge,

Let's hope you won't think me too vicious. Have a story local to Clapham you want to share with us? Email [email protected], call 07742 524 934 or tweet @IssyMillett. Find all the latest news from your local area by following Clapham Nub News on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
