BOW! WOW!
By Arthur Guiterman

Bim was a bull-pup who hadn't any sense;
Tom was a tom-cat a-walking on the fence.
Bim had a beef-bone and Tommy came to see;
Bim snapped at Tommy's tail and chased him up a tree.

Bow! wow! wow! wow! wow! wow! wow!
Waking half the village up to hear the awful row.
"Drat him!" all the neighbors cried, "and what's the matter now?"
Bow! wow! wow! wow! wow! wow! wow!

Bim sat and watched him for half a summer night;
Tom put his back up but didn't dare to fight.
Bim shut his eyelids and took a little doze.
Tom stretched a patty-paw and raked the puppy's nose.

Ki! yi! yi! yi! yi! yi! yi!
"Don't you dare to bark at me when I'm a-passing by!
If you don't behave yourself, I'll scratch you in the eye!"
Ki! Yi! yi! yi! yi! yi! yi!

Bim tucked his tail in and went away from there;
Tom licked his whiskers and didn't seem to care.
Bim brought the beef-bone to Tommy for amends.
Tommy and the puppy-dog are now the best of friends.

Bow! wow! Meow! wow! Meow!
Thomas-cat and puppy-dog, you ought to see them now!
Playing all around the yard, they never have a row.
Bow! wow! Meow! wow! Meow!
