The Weird Gandering Dog

Yankee Doodle Dandy went down to Strudel Town,
Looking to latch onto likely Mr. Lapley’s old gandering hound.
He puffed and huffed, “Not a hound but, a weird dog,” this he found!
The insult spread everywhere and all around! No weirdoes in Strudel!
Y. D. Dandy caused more than one chicken hearted frown!
Thus, he boldly stole the strudeled mutt and sold him for a pound!
Well, now for such a weighty bargain, the folks at Elder’s Town,
Decided to sneak over to the Strudels, to look at the gandering hound.
Took one peek, hearts grew weak, a Pet finally they had found.
The news flew with swift wings to all a-listening all- around.
The folks at Elder’s Town bid not one but two pounds.
