​In a moment of evocative contemplation, our four-legged hero likened the joys of his gustatory experience to a “thing of beauty” as described by John Keats.

A thing of beauty is a joy forever
Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness; but still will keep
A bower quiet for us, and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams, and health, and quiet breathing.
—John Keats

A happy treat is no toy forever;
Its loveliness increases one's endeavor 
To stash it quick within the inner keep,
Intending then to list with welcome sleep,
And dream of chase and catch and breathless yelping.
—Shortfellow (aka Lord Zakwoof of Glenwoof)
