A Seasonal Ode !!

Jaggy’s Best Friend

It is said that a dog is a man's best friend.
Honest and faithful right up to the end;
    And that is true, but goes only so far
    It’s smaller than a horse and weaker than a car
Its uses are limited to fetching thrown sticks
Or giving its owner big slobbery licks
    So really what’s needed for work, rest and play
    Is something that can earn a decent day’s pay
No, a solution is needed that is eminently practical
Like a large box on wheels that has power mechanical
    Volkswagen and Merc have vehicles commercial
    Ideal for jobs that are regarded as special
Vauxhall and Citroen make workhorses too
But budget dictated a Ford would make do
    Gone are the days when vans were cheap
    But prices these days are awfy steep
A Ford Transit Custom was sought to carry the books
And through squinty eyes it has kept its good looks
    But just look up close and a hard life it has seen
    So I’ve had to be kind to this bright red machine
It has visited rallies and shows both near hand and far
Plus other displays and exhibitions of the motor car
    It carries the books and a pull out awning
    To keep me covered when I’m on the flogging
These books that are informative and educational too
And which can bring back memories to all of you
    Of adventures and times long past and revered
    Mindful of sights and sounds which to us endeared
We’ll be back on the trail in better weather next season
The Transit and me and the latest edition
    So if you’re lacking a good book the answer is here
    I’ll see you about somewhere next year
And so to all of you out there may I wish you good cheer
Have a very Jaggy Christmas and a guid New Year
