The Tail of the Dogs (as told by Jack Roy in ~1990)

The Tail of the Dogs

Well the dogs they had a meetin'
And they came from near and far.

Some came by automobile
and I'll be damned if some didn't come by car.

Before they could go in, or even take a look.
They had to take their assholes off and hang them on a hook.

After they were seated, each mother son and sire.
Some dirty hell of a son of a bitch came in and hollered fire.

They all ran out in bunches and didn't think to look,
they just grabbed any old asshole, hangin' off any ole hook.

As can be expected, these dogs were kind of sore,
because they were wear'in an asshole they'd never worn before.

So when you see two dogs on the street alone,
they'll smell each others assholes and hope to find his own.

This famous poem was oft recited by Jack Roy and other Camp / Program directors at Camp Cedar Valley / Pine Trail Reservation.   There are numerous variations that emerged over the years as the poem wasn't written down.  One of these was, "Some dirty hell of a doberman pinscher came in..."    another was "mighty sore".

I served as the program director in the late 80's and Jack came to visit and we talked for a while in the cook shack.  Upon request the above is the version he shared.
