'A sleek dog, a meek dog, cringing for my meat.'
and
'I’ll never be a lap dog, licking dirty feet.'
Explanation:
The 'Lone Dog' authored by Irene Rutherford McLeod conveys the idea of disdain for dogs that are pets. The lines 'A sleek dog...meat' and 'I'll ...feet' convey this idea constructively as the descriptive words like 'sleek,' 'meek,' 'cringing for meat' are used to shown this derision and the speaker's words asserting that he would never wish to be a 'lap dog and licking someone's dirty feet' further substantiates this claim of contempt.
Deft means skillful, or careful, so to use it properly here's an example: He deftly placed the glass on the table
