Terry
His swaddling coat and dimpled toque
were all he had for cold
Unless you count the sweet round mint
his nestled tongue would hold.
A limp that kept him seething on
was motion to his sail.
A bloke like him was tough as grit
that women sought his tail.
One stubborn man his posture leaned,
bent head-long in the wind.
Veracious ne're a hotter head.
He went on as though pinned.
Still gentler there was never a man.
A comfort to us all.
His charity was next to God
if each man were to call.
