Old Toffer'S Book Of Consequential Dogs Av Christopher Reid

<p><i>I’ve rounded up a rowdy assembly</i><br><i>Of my own Consequential Dogs</i><br><i>As counterparts to Eliot’s mogs.</i><br><i>Mine are a rough and ready bunch:</i><br><i>You wouldn’t take them out to lunch . . .</i><br><i>But if they strike you as friendly, funny,</i><br><i>Full of bounce and fond of a romp,</i><br><i>Forgetful of poetic pomp,</i><br><i>I trust you’ll take them as you find them</i><br><i>And, at the very least, not mind them.</i><br><br>T. S. Eliot's best-selling collection of practical cat poems has been one of the most successful poetry collections in the world.<br><br>For the first time in company history a companion volume will be published. Originally conceived by Eliot himself, Old Toffer's Book of Consequential Dog poems are a witty, varied and exquisitely compiled as Eliot's cats.</p>
