My dragon Rutherford is a dare devil out for a thrill
Along the way he likes to roast a good kill
I climb on his back, not knowing where we are going
If he says “bring a coat” I figure it might be snowing
He flies easily between continents in a couple of hours
He has other talents, some truly remarkable super powers
Invisible during flight, he sometimes messes with a 747
I tell him to stop it, or he might not make it to heaven
Rutherford knows I am strict but loving, he is my tight pal
He flies me to other galaxies, I am his favorite old gal.
He has been my dragon since July thirteenth of 1972.
Exhausting summer if you knew how many miles we flew.
He eats along the way, roasting pigs, sheep, cattle, and one time a boar.
I know he is getting ready to feast when he drops out of a soar.
He always wants to share, but I bring my own snacks.
I don’t like to eat anything that moos, gobbles or quacks.
Last week we flew to Scotland, which was quite a trip for me.
All because Rutherford had a craving for Welsh apricot tea.
He is a marvelous pet, who has best intentions about me.
I love my dragon Rutherford, together, we are happy, you see.

Ridiculously responsible refined Rutherford Cat
Responded remarkably easy to the rat that sat
Willing him to record his refined pitter pat splat
We saw it ourselves, me and my friend Matt.
A famous recording artist in county of Platt.
What a nice guy is refined Rutherford Cat!

good old dead Rutherford B Haves
most do not know he was president
his name is not famous like Lincoln or Kennedy
because he was not assassinated probably
But he could be famous for one thing
He was the first president to allow a phone into the White House
His phone number is so easy, you may be able to remember it.
It was 1.

He is big and beastly, and we are afraid, I said.
Not I said Rutherford, who had been dropped on his head.
What is wrong with you? He is an ugly mean troll, you dunce.
Rutherford rolled his eyes at me a lot more than once.
What is mean about him? He looks scared to me.
Rutherford took the troll a large cup of Earl Gray tea.
The troll gave him three wishes and gave him a sweet high five.
I tried to get in on the action, by bringing him a kitty cat live.
What is it? He asked, cringing with fear at the cat.
Rutherford gave me a stern look and yelled, “Sis! Stop that!”
I felt foolish now, as the troll began to shiver and shake in fear.
I guess Rutherford is pretty wise for a boy of only four years.

Rutherford Rugola was a witch with supernatural powers.
The forest trees were in awe when she appeared with her fulcrum.
Once every twenty-two years on a September with showers.
She tossed crazy things into her rainbow-generating cauldron.
“Spittle Biddle Born and Diddle
I conjure my ancestors, they’re second fiddle
Beebalow Deebalow, Schimmy Shoo
I summons the magic ones, Herfrog and Toodleoo”
Forest animals ran to the meadow when they heard her chant.
She can turn us into goats and ghouls, they said with scream or sigh
A rainbow haze filtered out of her cauldron with a fanciful slant
Someone will soon be transmogrified when she catches their eye

Holds his hurt feelings next to his vest.

Hurt his feelings so bad.
He ran off one day, heading way out west.

A RUTHERFORD PHRASIS 2
Joys day shall dawn,Christ shall cry
down crosses,with flood tides of
consolation.He blows a kiss from
afar,offers a sweet soft cheek to
the poor sinner,as Him they seek.
The promise of a new-found-land
with four summers to a year and
the bride may yet sing again of
the days of her youth.Seek this
your lodging,look through the
Father’s rooms in heaven.

A RUTHERFORD PHRASIS 3
Read over your life with the daylight
Of God.Be greedy for grace if the
garland of suffering unlace upon
your head and blossoms falls from
your joy.Our sand-glass is not so long
as we need to weary; time will eat
away and root our sorrows.Sorrows
loss and sadness.death are the worst
of things that are,’cept sin,but Christ
knoweth well what to make of them
An phrasis verse of Samuel Rutherford
using phrases selected from his letters.

A RUTHERFORD PHRASIS 1
Alas,alas he came one hour,
dried up my flower.Weep and sigh,
for fruit here is salted and seasoned
with sin.White and ripe are we for the
Lord’s harvest hook,we rarely listen
and read His book.Sweetness and
sadness, pain and joy live together
in the daily web where sweetness is
with bitter,said;hedged in by thorns
we still seek warm fire under ice.Then
He drops words in our ears and feeds
our hunger with a kiss shaken by winds
our root holds fast to His fair and never
withering tree.The day sky breaks and
Comfort speaks and allures with feasts
of love.Wisdom devised its love,lays it
on, sweet experience of consolation
erase afflictions song and greets those
to whom the kingdom belong.

using phrases selected from his letters.
