Fish and Chips On the Isle of Skye

Fish and chips on the Isle of Skye At eight PM when the sun is still high, With friendly midgies and the coffee hot Where the Chips are greasy but the fish is not. The opaque moon says "look at me" Above the bright blue shiny sea, The fluffy pillows hang in the air While the Spannish tourists sigh and stare. The little boats give you a dance  The distant mountains give you a trance, My wife's lipstick smears on her fork We taste the view and enjoy a talk. While we let Skye work to catch our breath We see less is more & more is less, So it doesn't matter the slice was dry With the Fish and chips on the Isle of Skye. Note : a "midgie" is like mini mosquito

I really enjoyed your poem and have had the pleasure of eating chips on Skye. I don't live far from Skye. Best wishes Linda x
