Poem about King George

by Alex Laird
(Aberdeenshire)

Has anyone heard the poem which was spoken when training a dog?

The dog was made to sit still and a small piece of bread placed on its nose.
The following short poem was then told to the dog.

"Heres a bit of King George's bread
Ye darna take it till he be dead
Cock fire - snap it."

At the words "snap it" the dog would toss the bread and catch
it in its mouth.

This required quite a lot of training of course by both the
owner and the dog before perfection.

Thanks,
Mr A.Laird
