Ogden Nash has composed a sonnet about a young lady Belinda who possesses many pets, in particular, a dark little cat named ink, a dim mouse named squint, a yellow canine named mustard, and a defeatist mythical beast named custard.

• The writer has depicted each character to be daring aside from the winged serpent who is a weakling.
• However, the entire circumstance changes when a privateer assaulted Belinda's home.
• No other person had the guts to confront him, it was the mythical beast that killed the privateer.
• Every one of the characters is blissful because they are saved by the winged serpent however right away change their musings and portray themselves to be all the more impressive had what was happening not been so befuddling for every one of them.
