Paw Poem

Paw Begley

We’re missing dear old Begley,

(He’s a member of our Staff),

He brings the pupils out for walks

And loves to hear them laugh.

Today he had to phone the school,

He sounded in a muddle,

“I’ve an injured foot and that’s not cool.

I think it needs a cuddle.”

“I’ll have to put the job on paws,

And rest until I’m better.

Will someone please remind me

That I’m not an Irish Setter!

I only have these little legs

(There’s nothing wrong with that)

But I wish they were like Realtin’s

When I’m trying to chase the cat!

I wish that I was tall and slim

But I know I shouldn’t worry,

The pupils seem to love me

‘Cos I’m short and cute and furry!

If my foot was not so sore

I’d write a longer letter

But rest assured that I’ll be back

As soon as I am better!”
