Bill Grace - Protest Over Two Words

The newspaper is clever:
'Who will be the top beagle? '
Is the front page question
The photograph of beagles in competitive queue accompanies.
Charles Schulz gave us ‘the head beagle'
Our newspaper ‘the top beagle'
There is a difference.
Hitler and Stalin were top beagles.
F.D.R. was a head beagle.
I will take a head beagle over a top beagle
Every day God gives me to protest the difference.
