Can tell when its owner’s unfed

Who'd take the bounty of a heart,
or curse a kingdom for a start.

Their was one sly, little devil,

Luring mallards or teals to the rocks
Where a hunter’s awaiting
What the dog has been baiting
Scaring duckies right out of their jocks

Through the eyes of one born in 1952:

1950’s TV craze
Muscle cars, blue jeans
Poodle skirts, class ring exchanges
Simple time, grandparents involved.
