Poem for Poppy Davies 1984
– 2000
Poppy was a Scottish cat From up in old Dundee She travelled down sout To be with you via Stoke to Old Derby
She was a grand old girl Sixteen years in all She
had short legs, she was rather round And
was never very tall She
liked her fish for breakfast, diner, lunch and tea And
she was always her happiest Sitting
on your knee She’d
nudge you in the morning To
get you out of bed She’d
be a grump for a while You’d
think she was never fed Wendy
used to fed her When
you went away If
you went away for some time In
Wembley she would stay You
knew for a while that she wasn’t well And
that the time would come When
she would leave for heaven And
say goodbye to her lovely mum In
heaven there is no age at all So
she’ll be a kitten again once more Her
legs won’t creak Her
wee won’t leak And
she wont pooh on the floor I
bet she’s up in heaven With
Tiggy and all his mates Running
and skipping around so much She
may even lose some weight You’ll
miss her Siân I know you will Of
that there is no doubt But
think like me when Tiggy’s not there And simply think she’s out
Think she’s in the garden Where she used to play Think like that forever And she’ll never go away
All nicely tucked in my warm new bed, I'd like to open my baggage, Lest I forget, There is so much to carry, So much to regret. Hmmm...Yes, there it is, right on the top, Let's unpack Loneliness, Heartache and Loss, And there by my perch hides Fear and Shame. As I look on these things I tried so hard to leave, I still have to unpack my baggage called Pain. I loved them, the others, the ones who left me, But I wasn't good enough - for they didn't want me. Will you add to my baggage? Will you help me unpack? Or will you just look at my things, And take me right back? Do you have the time to help me unpack? To put away my baggage, to never repack? I pray that you do - I'm so tired you see, But I do come with baggage, Will you still want me? Author Unknown Scraggly has finally unpacked and is happy and much loved!
