Analysis of HOUND DOG



You fit as an old fussy fuddy duddy
You order as one bossy McGilicuddy
You put the letter H into the word sit
Actually to me, then, you're full of it
Mary's Akita dog came to Cruddy or Buddy
Buddy could climb over an 8' chain link fence
You and the element titanium are very dense
Mother Goose's story of Rip Van Winkle
Had a man who didn't ever wake to tinkle
Years asleep? He slept for at least twenty
Of rubbish you've got candy, Good and Plenty
Please! Don't try to be particular, a putrid putz
Whose residence is in a local or foreign kibbutz
Wake up! See the dawn's early light, the lutz
Where? Over there! Here I squawk
As does any Eastern Red Tailed Hawk.
