Potten End was always a friend
To me at the farm and the orchard,I
Loved it I wouldn’t have changed it for the world
Which is now why
I leave behind great memories
Of the long grass and the fly
Of the mower that I barked at
And why I liked to lie
Those delicious cucumber slices
With celtic salt for tea
“Satos” we were the best of friends
And Dave was good to me
He a gentle giant
Who was friendly and I know
I am going to really miss him
Where ever I go
When Luca and Claudia sometimes came
Luca’s funny tones
Made me bark my head off
It grated in my bones
I know I liked too many treats
Though with my injections, I
Just had to be more careful
but everyone knew why
Everyone was aware
And helped me that was good for sure
When Rob whispered through his teeth
“Whassa”and whats more
I went around and chewed my bedding
Even Claudia’s knee
And got hold of a tea towel
And shook it violently
I really enjoyed the orchard
Where I went every day
It was where the grass grew very tall
Where I could hide away
Or snuggle up on the sofa
Next to Rob my friend
Especially when it was cold outside
I prayed it would never end
We had a lot of fun there
And I was sad to leave
Death comes to us all in fact
But what I did achieve
Was to have a friend called Wizard
And “Satos” and Dear Rob
And Claudia and Luca
And Dave yes I now sob
Bear Man and Delilah
Who shared their home with me
And riding in the dragon car
Another memory
So much was good in my life
So idyllic actually
But I am off now to the Rainbow Bridge
To meet Wizard who should be
Skulking around some corner
Ready to give me a start
I am going to miss you all
For you all are in my heart
I know Rob did his best for me
And I’m really grateful for
The time I had
With all of you
Of that I am very sure
