The Hairie Queene
or
Glory! Glory! Glory! Long Live Monarchy!
The pedigreed Queen Shih Tzu shining sits
Upon her throne attended by court fools,
All privy chamberers arrayed in glitz
Who train Her Highness with the privy stools;
Their business being to obey these rules
All privy hours of each day and night
Should "Hairiana" crowned in privy jewels
Command the stools to serve her appetite:
To be but not unblessed should "Good Shihtz" bite;
To be but not unpressed should "Sweet Shihtz" champ;
To be but not undressed should "Shihtzy" tight
But ever on the privy parts here clamp;
To keep but ever stiff the upper lip--
Should sharply Shihtzy shihtzu-faced parts rip.
