RUPERT i.m. Charles Causley
September 19, 2023
Brought to visit you
in the care home,
purring with anticipation
all the way, to be announced
upon arrival
as an important personage
not to be kept waiting
the first he heard was
‘Has he got four legs?’
at which an accelerated
crescendo of purring
gave as its answer
unmistakable assent,,
and entering
to your delighted cry of
‘Rupert!’ the important
personage sped across the carpet
jumping up to settle
on a poet’s warm, familiar lap.
