This chapter's epigraph comes from the famous nursery rhyme, "Whoosh whoosh, whoosh" . It's about a dog who spits out excrement, and it's a reference to the fact that the dog is good at talking, but not so good at fighting. In other words, the dog doesn't have a lot of tricks, but he's good at being able to talk. He's also good at rhyming, which is why he gets the nickname "hysterical and elegant butcher" , right?
