Priscilla Gets Her Way With Love

Priscilla Gets Her Way With Love

By Elton Camp

Prissy’s ears extend well below her chin
And to a bi tch she is the very next of kin

And she has long whiskers on her face
Once-a-month bath she finds no disgrace

Her hair is very short even atop her head
And kind words she never once has said

By giving love to others, she gets her way
There’s no need for her to have much to say

For marriage, Prissy has not the least desire
She belongs to whoever becomes her buyer

She has never learned how to read or write
And in the fine arts, she takes no delight

But her big eyes will melt even the hard heart
So that from her they will not want to depart 

You may not think Priscilla is very regal
But she is just fine since she’s a Beagle
