Bow-wow Black Dog

Bow-wow black dog, why do you howl?
Come near, come near and hear it my dear,
I howl for the full moon,I howl for the soul,
And I howl for my master who cries with fear.

Author notes

Original rhyme

Baa baa black sheep, have you any wool?
Yes sir, yes sir, three bags full!
One for the master, one for the dame,
And one for the little boy who lives down the lane.

    This black dog I have seen. His dripping teeth
    Are often in my dreams. He lurks beneath
    The fine veneer we call society
    And often he disrupts our cool sobriety..
