Ambling round the house,
in an untucked cosy shirt,
he shuffles to a vagabond hymn
inspired by symphonies unheard.
He seeks reflection from the lower cast,
like a cat with nothing else to do.
Hard to deny him due affection.
He purrs with intellect and caste.
Loafing, loving,
charming, proving,
there is much to admire.
He inspires the world to push,
Time to heel,
Souls to fawn,
racing worry curbing to appease.
He is the light loafing loved,
beacon easily adored.
God speed.
