By Any Other Name

German Shepherd in the snow,
what I really want to know,
if once you were an Alsatian,
would spots make you a Dalmatian?

And if you were a Croatian,
might you be on a vacation?
Strange indeed this assignation,
herding sheep could be salvation.

Changing names, it seems to me,
is nothing but enormity -
as Shakespeare said about the rose,
it don’t mean nothing to the nose.
