WHY BASSETS WON'T USE A COMPUTER

Can't stick his head out of Windows '95.

Fetch command not available on all platforms.

To messy to "mark" every Web site he visits.

Can't help attacking the screen when he hears, "You've got mail."

Fire hydrant icon simply frustrating.

Involuntary tail wagging is dead giveaway he's browsing www.purina.com instead of working.

Three words: Carpal Paw Syndrome.

Saliva-coated floppy disks refuse to work.

SIT and STAY were hard enough; DELETE and SAVE are out of the question! ! !

Distracted by cats chasing the mouse.

THE POWER OF THE BASSET

There is sorrow enough in the natural way
From men and women to fill our day;
And when we are certain of sorrow in store,
Why di we always arrange for more?
Brothers and Sisters, I bid you beware
Of giving your heart to a Basset to tear.

Buy a pup and your money will buy
Love unflinching that cannot lie--
Perfect passion and worship fed
By a kick in the ribs or a pat on the head.
Nevertheless it is hardly fair
To risk your heart for a Basset to tear.

When the fourteen years which Nature permits
Are closing in asthma, or tumour, or fits,
And the vet's unspoken prescription runs
To lethal chambers or loaded guns,
Then you will find--it's your own affair--
But...you've given your heart for a Basset to tear.

When the body that lived at your single will,
With its whimper of welcome, is stilled (how still!);
When tyhe spirit that answered your every mood
Is gone--wherever it goes--for good,
You will discover how much you care, 
And will give your heart for the Basset to tear.

We've sorrow enough in the natural way,
When it comes to burying Christian clay.
Our loves are not given, but only lent,
At compound interest of cent percent.
Though it is not always the case, I believe,
That the longer we've kept'em, the more do we grieve:

For, when debts are payable, right or wrong,
A short-time loan is as bad as a long--
So why in Heaven (before we are there)
Should we give our hearts to a Basset to tear?
