A Tail of Two Names

  
             Tuff and Ruff, two dogs couldn’t bark
               Owner took them to the park

             Tuff was mauled by a Doberman Pincher
                Who looked at Ruff, said “What’s your name sir?”

             Ruff said “Ruff!” once, then twice
               ~ Pincher turned tail in a trice
