The dogs stormed the golden gates
of the kennel club,
crushed the studbooks
and tore up the dogshow statutes.
They shat on Sewallis’s grave
and pissed on the offices of

They ripped the words ‘pet’ and ‘owner’
from the dictionary.
They made a heap
of muzzles and leads
as high as a hayrick
then set fire to it.
