Thanks! To explain the absence of the X-Files in my sonnet, you try rhyming something with "Scully!" Sooo, I had to rethink the whole thing, and as soon as I found a word rhyming with Bojangles, I went with it. Of course, at my house, it's not such an off-the wall topic--we actually do have semi-regular conversations about small, ugly dogs (which sometimes even include Mr. Bojangles by name), so It was pretty natural for me. I blame my up-bringing. Thx for the comment though
