The Ambiguous Dog Poem by Arthur Guiterman

The Ambiguous Dog



The Dog beneath the Cherry-tree
Has ways that sorely puzzle me:

Behind, he wags a friendly tail;
Before, his Growl would turn you pale!

His meaning isn't wholly clear-
Oh, is the Wag or Growl sincere?

I think I'd better not descend-
His Bite is at the Growly End.
