'Whoe'er wrote this wrote it full well: <br />The same is writ on the gates of Hell! ' <br />At those tall, terrifying gates <br />No welcome wagging tail e'er waits; <br />No sound of any purr or bark <br />Is heard through all that Stygian dark; <br />No peal of bird songs ever come <br />To gladden Pandemonium; <br /> <br />In Hades no pet e'er can dwell <br />Because there is no love in Hell. <br />And yet, I think, in that dread place <br />If some pet lover in disgrace <br />Felt a dear paw probe for his hand <br />His hardened heart; which might withstand <br />Gehenna's hate of the outcast, <br />Would, for sheer anguish, break at last. <br /> <br />Written by Liam Brophy <br />Clacton Animal Aid sanctury<br /><br />Ruth Street<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/no-pets-allowed/
