JACKPOT

They chatted for so long The day was here to meet She was so excited Feeling her hearts every beat He was Scottish and oh so lovely She thought he may be the one She had looked for red flags But there had been none Meeting place was at the pier The wind was blowing a fearsome gale Her beautiful brushed hair blew wild and free The gusts were steadfast with no intention to curtail He stood there handsomely in traditional Scottish dress She thought her heart had stopped A mighty gust of wind then blew his kilt up Thats the moment she knew…..she had hit the jackpot!!
