[edit] A bit of doggerel

It's a bit of a reach (which is why I'm asking here instead of being bold), but d'you suppose that we could justify including Alexander Pope's verse in this article?

I am his Highness's dog at Kew.

Pray tell me, sir, whose dog are you?

I know that the connection to Kew is tenuous, but that verse is the reason I visited Kew Gardens when I went to England as a child... —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 04:31, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

• Go on, add it - it is a bit of fun and referenced to a more than notable author - I thought the quote was "His Majesty's dog at Kew" though, I could be wrong - I often am on matters of poetry! I'm sure it can be worked in without seeming inapropriate. Giano 19:58, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Done; having discovered who "His Highness" was in the poem, it wasn't too difficult to incorporate. And apparently it is "Highness'", not "Majesty's" — see discussion at Talk:Kew (where it turns out the verse had already been included). —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 07:38, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
