Song Of The Court Of Cyffdy
(to my fourteen years old long-haired miniature daschund)
17/2/94
All Hail To Thee!
Oh Mighty Guardian Of The Trans-Kitchen Sub-Carpet Hot Water Pipe!
Oh Mighty Stubby-Legged Snortle-Worthy Crumb-Snuffling Vacuum Cleaner!
Oh Mighty One Who Buries To The Bottom Of My Bed And Refuses To Budge A Doggy-Millimetre!
Oh Mighty Worshipper Of The Great Ball Of Fire In The Sky Who Can Hear Sunlight Fall Onto The Carpet In The Deepest Of Doggy-Dreams!
Oh He Who Once Somehow Climbed Onto And Off The Dinner Table And Licked All The Fruit Topping From The Cheese Cake!
Oh Mightier Occupier Of Seats The Warmer And More Temporarily Vacated The Better!
Oh Mighty One Who Knows Not That He Is Not Human!
Oh Mighty One With So Much Love And So Shocking Little Loyalty!
Oh Mighty One Who Knows Not Obedience And Cares Not A Disdainful Sniff Neither!
Oh Mighty One Who Is Named After A Farm We Stayed On During A Favourite Childhood Holiday Near Bala In Wales!
Oh Mighty One Who Hides In The Depths Of The Carpet Lest He Be Called On To Perform Some Onerous Task Such As Being Awake!
Oh Mighty One Who Leaves His Pedigree Chum In His Bowl For An Hour Or Two In The Hope Of Something Alot More Interesting!
Oh Mighty One Who Scoffs Cheese Like It Is A Class A Drug!
Oh Mighty One Who Also Loves Porridge, Nut-Roast, Marmite On Toast, Turkey, After Eight Mints, Baked Beans And Chips!
Oh Mighty One Who Come To Mention After Eighty Mints Once Intersected One In Mid-Air Having Accelerated From Total Sleep To The Speed Of Chocolate In Less Than A Hundredth Of A Second!
Oh Mighty One Who Accepts Bribes And Bribery Without The Slightest Nose-Twitch Of Scruple Or Compromise!
Oh Mighty Linguistic Prodigy Who Can Just About Now Tell The Difference Between “Lounge!”, “Television!”, “Washing Door!” and “Bedroom!”
Oh Mighty One Who Sleeps A Mighty Amount Of The Time!
Oh Mighty One Who Greets Life Belly-On!
Oh Mighty One Who Greets Me Belly-Up!
Oh Mighty One Who Seems To Like Me Alot And Me Him!
Oh Mighty One Who Will Probably Die Soon And Who I Will Miss!
Oh Mighty One Who Will Probably Soon Saunter Off To The Eternal Glow Of That Great Three Bar Electric Fire In The Sky And Who I Am More Than Happy To Remember Here Down On Earth In Poem And Warm Memory!
All Hail To Thee Cyffdy! Dog (yes, you’re a dog) And Friend!
Fourteen Human Years, Ninety Nine Dog Years, Old And Still Going
Soft.
