Tolstoy once gave his wife
a rose from England
and before she even had
a chance to say “How
Lovely” he wrote War
and Peace which was
a lovely book.

War & Peace is a long book
and dachshunds are long dogs
People make fun of dachshunds
at times but no one makes fun of
War & Peace it’s the apogee of
modern literary achievement
after all which is not to say
that dachshunds regard it
as such nor will they not
tinkle upon it upon occasion
but one must not rag upon
the hapless dachshund
for other dogs have been
known over the generations
to tinkle upon War & Peace
as well and at times quite robustly
St. Bernards come right
to mind, and some suggest
Vizslas—a noble breed to
be sure—no one can
argue with that, fine
and sinewy.
