I would like to register my support for Mike Greene's initiatives for restricting dogs, and record in verse a personal experience:
7am on Hampstead Heath.
The shapes that form through early morning fogs
Have often fooled the wariest of eyes,

They crowded like the sands upon the shore
Stretched out along some South Pacific bay,
Infinities arrived, then more, then more,
Engulfed in a sub-optimal bouquet.

And ushered in the kingdom of the cur?
Was this the herald of a doggy dawn?
I took no chances, mumbling "Please!" and "Sir!" -
It's better not to tangle with a pup
Whose tongue is hanging down, and stock is up.
