038 • Little Ned (3)

To start on your puppy’s post-mortem.

At Ned’s pitiful corpse
The sooner I get to report him.
Maybe I did nothing to make Ned’s brief life agreeable; but I can certainly compensate by a vengeful attack on the slothful bureaucracy that thinks nothing of delaying his funeral. [See also here]
