Seren Roberts Poet Rhyme

To the Rescue

Come lads he says we are needed
Some poor soul is lost tonight
Let’s fill the barrel with brandy
A life saver to a cold fright

I have the lantern to guide us
Your noses must do the rest
Careful as we walk the ice flow
Jack Frost has given us a test

Hat pulled down, collar up
I walk my dogs to search and find
For a poor soul trapped in the snow
Hoping against hope to be there in time

Came across a bundle of rags
It was the remains of the poor lost walker
No more did he need the brandy
His soul had returned to its maker

Based on John Emms St Bernard's to the Rescue painting

Richard Lamoureux January 22, 2014 at 7:42 AM I thought it was a St Bernard when you said brandy. Very effective and moving piece. Seren Roberts January 23, 2014 at 10:21 PM was a lovely picture to visualise....glad you recognised something of it in my words....Seren
