verb / bey / bayed / bayer
to howl with a deep, prolonged bark, like a dog on the prowl

I‘M a lean dog, a keen dog, a wild dog, and lone;

I’m a rough dog, a tough dog, hunting on my own;

I’m a bad dog, a mad dog, teasing silly sheep;

I love to sit and bay the moon, to keep fat souls from sleep.
