Theodore Drake

Tediously bored, Sir Drake Prolonged afternoon of tea and cakes Jam coats his chin with gooey paste A beard of crumbs hangs from his face His manner somewhat hard to grasp Small fingers smother giddy laughs. . To sup he’d need a tuning fork to confound the smacks from lamb and pork. Lanky strands of cabbage slaw. Gravy splashes grease his jaw Pastries flurry dandruff flakes A grubby mess, grandiose Sir Drake Theodore Aka Teddy Bear With soggy paws and matted hair Needs a scrub from his stout chin to the furry spats about his shins. Carried off by loving arms A bath restores his stately charm.
