Saw this at the head of a Severus/Sirius fic ("Stars in Motion") as its prompt just now:
The great Overdog
That heavenly beast
With a star in one eye
Gives a leap in the east.
He dances upright
All the way to the west
And never once drops
On his forefeet to rest.
I'm a poor underdog,
But to-night I will bark
With the great Overdog
That romps through the dark
(Robert Frost, "Canis Major")
Makes me wish I'd got there first with that one!
