One day Poodle decided to have her fur done I am going to the beauty salon Hound she announced I will be back later Hound did not look up from his newspaper 6
At the beauty salon Poodle had her fur trimmed into pom-poms A stunning fur ball stood on the very tip-top of her head She looked at herself in the mirror and said Lovely I am L-O-V-E-L-Y Poodle thought her feet and ears looked particularly fetching Elegant she said with a sigh 7
Then she thought All this beauty will be wasted on Hound So Poodle trotted downtown to the Ritz for tea Poodle insisted on having a table by the window She wanted to be admired from both the outside and inside of the restaurant Poodle ordered tea and a plate of cookies Ooh yummy she exclaimed after she bit into the first cookie The two corgis at the next table looked at her in alarm Oh dear Poodle thought They must think I am crazy talking to myself So she sat up straight and proper and quietly ate her cookies and sipped her tea 8
