Frazer's Heroism

Thurber, the callous old jeweler

For a pet had a stray dog named Frazer,

Feeding him only once a day,

Giving a ten-rupee note away;

And that was all he thought;

But donated lakhs 

of rupees to many a charitable trust;

One night returning 

home from his shop,

As he tried to get in 

he was made to stop

By some masked men;

One took his cash-filled

leather bag, 

another his finger rings

and yet another his thick gold chain.

Frazer appeared on the scene

And understood what it did mean;

The dog barked furiously and hard;

Soon arrived his fierce indignant squad

Of some fifteen dogs,

And some leapt 

at the necks of the thugs;

Their violent barking 

was so scary sinister and loud,

That there soon gathered a vast crowd;

The robbers were caught

And a sweet lesson taught.

Thurber had a big kennel built,

Providing the strays each a quilt

To save them from the wintry days,

And gave them tasty good food always.
