Here's a couple of lines to start the ball rolling, tune "Twelfth of Never" or thereabouts:

I gave my love a poodle without a bark
I gave my love a sheepdog just for a lark
That poodle that I gave him was his and mine -
Until the twelfth of never, and that's a long long time.

Not a great work of literature, just something for the rest of you to work on!

Cheers
