Liturgy for the passing of the great Peter Falk (aka Columbo)

Archdruid: Peace be with you.
All: And also with you.

Archdruid: And now we will ask our guest speaker to read out the "word of power" for today.

Drayton Parslow: "Rosebud?" Why does it say "Rosebud" on the service sheet?

Rosebud the Dog charges into the Moot House, and is dragged out of the South East Door, clamped to Drayton's arm. Archdruid Eileen may slip the dog-owner a tenner.

One of the following may be said:

   Why did that dog get so upset when he said "Rosebud"? Surely... Ow! Ow! Someone get this dog off me!

OR: 

   I must tell Mrs Columbo about this when I get home. She loves dogs.

Archdruid: And may Peace go out with you.

All: And also with you.


Archdruid: Ah.... just one more thing?

  1. Nice one Archdruid. Obviously you have had an even more varied career than I thought.
    Give the lady a cigar!

  2. Heard this morning that the character of Columbo is based on Porfiry Petrovich the policeman in Crime and Punishment.
