Number 129. Rufus Two Legs Shows Concern.



Rufus Two Legs Shows Concern.

Rufus said that he was sad,
That people like his great grand-dad,
Got old and died and disappeared,
And it was something that he feared,
Might happen to me, “Don’t you know..”
“Then how would I get to and fro”
“From school each day? ‘Cos you’re quite old!”

I really felt that I’d been told,
And said I thought his mum and dad,
Were young enough, which made him glad.
But it was nice of him to say,
He cared about me in that way.
And though he isn’t quite yet six,
He thought he really ought to fix,
A back up plan to get to school,
And organize a new car pool;
Just in case one morning I'd,
Decided not to come, but died!
