Dear Old Ju

My Poem to Julian of the Famous Five!
Dear Old Ju
How could we describe you?
As Chivalrous and brave
Or a pompous ass?
In Enid's mind you wander free,
With the other three,
Not Forgetting Timmy,
In adventure filled lands
Endless Summers of Ice cream,
Ginger beer and picnics
Paint a picture
Of times gone by
Always ready for action,
Yet so sensible we could scream,
So infuriatingly steady,
But ready with a bright idea
Keeping Anne safe,
And George and Dick,
In their place,
Grown ups look to you
Dear Old Ju
How could we describe you?
As Chivalrous and brave
Or a pompous ass?

I guess I'd much rather have Ju on the inside, spitting out; than on the outside spitting in! For all his faults and pompousness, he was a great leader and essentially kind and thoughtful.
