Rhyming "trousers" with "browsers" and, later on, "drawers" and "sores" is indeed the sign of a fine writer. The references to other site members is an indication we have a real team player on our hands.

Thank you very much. Now I wish I'd carried on with sticking leeches up his breeches.

Are we actually talking an actual goat and an actual dog here or is it one of those clever metaphor things?
Either way, very good. The meter is fabulous, and rhyming effortless. Spleendid.

Does effortless rhyming mean it's too simple? I am going away to sulk and find out what a metaphor is. Then I'll let you know.

I think weewatto was being complimentary. In fact I know it - she is a harsh critic.

I was, it's true. And you can probably just say yes or no to whether they were actual beasts, we can then deduce whether a sneaky little metaphor made its way in dear.

It was Wee Angus' dug and Alex's goat. I'm not at all sure that they're real. You will have to consult with them direct. I hope they're not real, or they might be very upset and sue me for slander or some such thing. It's always hard when you just don't know a person. But then, when a person with a lisp says buthineth, you know they mean business.

Again, the original poem seems to have vanished. Never mind, the comments are quite a nice tribute to something which has disappeared into the ether. We shall miss it.

Don't worry. It was quite painless. It was the kindest thing really.
