The more clever hound
Finds a way to steal his meal:
He is time bound,
For if he had once
Trot to owner with mingled zeal
He would be a dunce-
To be well subdued
The dog pretends his mood-
Negate wish of food
And the owner would
Find harm in this pet’s eschew
And supply more goods
Fearing starvation
Of the poor, swollen fiend:
Food contemplation-
The dog's wink gleaned.

I really enjoyed your wording scheme. it's got a fun and attention gripping nature that carries the message through. My interpretation of the poem leads me to realize the premise of this story as it applies to other areas in life as though this story signifies a trope in patterns of the developmental nature we have as individuals and beings who are both oblidged to our nature and requirement for nurture. And how when nurture no longer serves us we find within our own nature a way to find our own nutrition through our own mortal means.
Bravo!!!
