Great fun. The "dogs you've gone to" line is the high point, but then there's the wonderful "pronto" capper that sees you through to the end. The rest of the poem I see as a fine container for delivering this particular rhyme triad. Well done venom mixed with levity. It's like one of Sor Juana's tell-off poems reincarnated for a new century. If I didn't know better, I'd think Maz might have written this.

It doesn't bother me, but I don't know why we need the Queen quote to set this up.
