Notes About The Poem

Alas, poor Vic......Here is a sonnet to memorialize your manly victory over the "nuts and bolts of outrageous IKEA".  God bless the Lady Celeste..

Wigley Warrior

Wigley Warrior

Alas, torn guidon’s emblem boldy held
as leaders scattered nigh amid the fray
alone amid despair all doubts he quelled
to face the looming windmills of the day.

T’was he – champion of the colors of Celeste
alone beneath the challenged castle keep
sworn only to pursue his holy quest
raise his sword in vic’try and then sleep.

Alas, the eyes that peer from tower’s perch
survey the scene of chaos with still calm
soft purr, the ancient chant of fallen church,
protects the warrior from unseen harm.

Thus rose The Valiant Vic to Celeste’s cause
borne through the tortured day by kneading paws.
