Text to poem:
THERE'S A BLUE AND WHITE DOG IN MY CIRCUS
I ONCE LIVED A DOG'S LIFE MYSELF AS A YOUNGSTER IN AMERSTERDAM WITH A CANVAS UNDER MY ARM
THE CIRCUS OF IRON AND FIRE WAS GOING FULL SWING THERE WERE WILD BEASTS IN THE STREETS
WHEN WAS IT I SAW THAT FELLOW BEATING THE DOG?
GIVE OVER, I SAID OR I'LL BASH YOUR SKULL IN
AND I BRANDISHED MY CANVAS LIKE AN AXE
A TRAINED DOG IS A SAD DOG
