FAMILIAR

 A saint of some kind

But who? The features 

Are worn, the attributes 

A mere blur. A small animal

Follows him. A dog?

St. Roch, then. Ask

Him to cure you of plague.

A pig? St. Anthony, probably.

Ask help in finding 

Something you've lost.

Could it be a duck?

St. Cuthbert, surely.

He's between specialties 

But will chat for a bit.

If there's any chance 

It might be an urvogel

You are in deep waters;

Back away quietly.
