Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. (Gospel of John)

Every morning at five o’clock King Carl saith unto me rise, take up thy bed off thy back, and walk…to the den to let me outside for my morning constitutional, and be quick about it.

then he follows me to the kitchen, waits patiently while I make my coffee

inseparable cats Batman and Robin want breakfast asap

I am ready to eat, says the third King of Cardinal Drive

We three kings of Orient are;
bearing gifts we traverse afar,
field and fountain, moor and mountain,
following yonder star.

O star of wonder, star of light,
star with royal beauty bright,
westward leading, still proceeding,
guide us to thy perfect light.

—- John Henry Hopkins, Jr. (1857)
