Rupert

Today I am
drifting around town
in a small boat
searching for Rupert

Floating along flooded streets
watching the rats
swimming in the evil waters

I am scanning the rooftops
searching for Rupert
Looking for a lad
Stranded on a roof
dressed in red
waving his school bag

I have a ladder in this boat
But have not yet had
The chance to use it

I have rescued seven rats
Who, although very pleased,
Are all crouched nervously
In the stern
Keeping as far from Kenny
As they can

At first I thought this might be about our favourite white bear who lives in Nutwood.

Rupert grabs a hankie and blows his nose.
Is it Bill Badger's do you suppose?

He was in our garden all the time, if I'd known you were looking I'd have let you know.
