Milo the Male

A little humour from staff member

Cheryl Hawkins

There lives a Male at Wardside
who has not put a food inside.
He walks the perimeter everyday
never a word does he say.
A coat of black he do wear,
his knees bent
and his feet all bar.
A happy Male he appears to be,
like a Gent’ of the old degree.
His name is Milo
and he feeds on scrap
because he a bird
and not a chap!
