Awakening

The French Poodle is a German breed.
New York was founded on a Dutch deed.
I was often confused 'til I realized
Things aren't always as advertised.

I knew about ew York but not poodles. Wish you'd expanded this clever poem a little.

They're smart too. Poodles. Not as sure about the Dutch, but probably.
