AN ODE TO PADDY
Paddington passed away last week and has left a hole in the hearts of Carol, Brian and Greg.
Paddy was my in-law's baby boy and lived out his last year happily, with a playmate and a foster family who loved him dearly, back in Ontario. He will be missed by us all.
the orange ball you squeaked
while all our hearts you tweaked
a trusty walking companion to Brian
your body and heart, the size of a lion
Carol will miss you beside her bed
oh! your red-golden hair you shed
your lolling tongue you slurped
while Squire, beside you, burped
Jake- sorry he had to move away
a friend to you, he wanted to stay
a trusty walking companion to Brian
your body and heart, the size of a lion
Carol will miss you beside her bed
oh! your red-golden hair you shed
your lolling tongue you slurped
while Squire, beside you, burped
Jake- sorry he had to move away
a friend to you, he wanted to stay
Poodie, will be mourned by Greg
a brother, on four legs
bit by a weasel, you yelped
many lonely souls you helped
a loyal friend were you
forever missed, so true
xoxo
