The Badge

The badge
Of honour
Dependability
Wherever you wander
You roam
Your home
On wheels
Is there
Wherever you go
The badge
Goes

Green
As the land
A rover
Of places wild
Unkempt
Open and free
Rugged
Barren
Endless to the eye
Limited
Only by footsteps
Off
The beaten track
Meat
And two veg
To
The badge

A name
A part
of England
A tradition
Covered
In the mud of farmland
Filled
With wool
The hair of a sober dog
A breed
Working
Bred
Over years
To be a part of the land
Carried now
By a breed
Designed
To be worker
Labelled
The badge

Landrover
