Half trained reputation
Precedes him
With his trusty companion Owen.
To the next hosting
Cottage.
Parents and one
Ailing child Deidre.
He must have a song
He fashioned.
Yellowing teeth
Scratchy chin
Yellow stained tunic
Smallish pot belly.
Ale and roasted rabbit
Or biscuits delightful.
The little girl enters the room
Wheezing
Her red eyes pleading.
This man has tunes.
He invents happiness
Or a certain mood.
All news says so.
Cautiously Carolan approaches
Delicately holds her waist
And jettisons skyward.
His sore leg complains.
Laughter the consequence.
And seconds of fresher
Happier air.
Before again touching
Dirt floor
Applause heard.
Mostly for her performance.
Mellow tune follows
On his ancient harp.
