The little toy dog is covered with dust,
but sturdy and staunch he stands.
(again, long).

... that same teacher also had a thing for martyrs. And people who had stigmata.

A bomb! a bomb! and they turned and ran.
Mothers took their daughters by their tiny sticky hands,
Fathers scooped their sons up in their big strong arms,
And they ran towards the bomb
And they ran towards the bomb
And they ran
             towards
                     the bomb.
