Congratulations – and a poem for Hector the dog

We’re all looking on with happiness at the exciting events in the United States. Hello to all our American friends and congratulations on Barack Obama becoming President.

This is a poem sent to me by my father-in-law, Michael Bassey, who has a gorgeous Golden Retriever called Hector.
Hector has just reached eleven and this is a poem he wrote for him.

Hector’s now

Eleven years old;

Muzzle grey

But coat still gold.

Cavorts in the wood

With a glint in his eye.

Surely ‘tis real

The camera can’t lie.

Or is it the dog

Who is the deceiver?

‘Tis a trait not unknown

In a golden retriever.
