Word Of The Day
Yowl - To utter a long loud mournful cry
'Buddy' by Adrian Plass
By public demand, here's Adrian Plass's poem from today's Pause For Thought:
Ìý
His head was as big as a shoebox
Eyes like a curious child,
Feet spread like mops, slobbering chops,
Deaf to the call of the wild.
Ìý
There happened to be a big meeting,
In heaven the day Buddy died,
From early to late, the ancient debate,
Should pets be permitted inside?
Ìý
Most angels said, ‘No, they don’t have a soul,
The concept is wrong and absurd’,
A dozen or more were not quite so sure,
But God sat, and said not a word.
Ìý
At last he arose, and said, ‘I propose,
Next month we continue to talk,
But dusk is fast falling, the hillside is calling,
And Buddy is needing a walk.’
Ìý
