" Faere Lass "

Aye... 'tis nay awa' e'er seen,
Faere lass ha' coom a'shore,
Frill bonnet oot & lairds do preen,
Prim lass ayre coom folklore.

'Twas maid fa's upon us few,
Such singin' springtime dew.
Smitten swain nane a'dither,
Wh'aur his hame coom hither.

Nay tae brak such trill sweet song,
E'er drifted throo day long.
Naethin' seen o'bonny lass,
Fae o'erhigh sun sae coom tae pass.

Prim her brow yet cauld her e'e,
Whistlin' gane she's sae coom to dae.
Hae nae e'er else nor song such e'ermore,
Faere lass ha' coom ashore.

"Wee, sleekit, cowran, tim'rous beastie, O, what a panic's in thy breastie"!...oie, if this were a flavour it would have the taste of porridge stirred by the spoon of Robert Burns. Your avatar...Merlin, or a very very ancient mariner? The picture is tiny and my vision is sparing, but I can see he has a very large forehead,,,maybe minimized by his flowing beard? Keep well, Mikki Congratulations on the win!!

Water water everywhere... yet a'sky in just a blink. As pause be had by that Tumtum Tree... near yon Crystal Cave I'll think. Pleased your pleased by that which pleases me... for such the reason and naught other... to pen me rimes oft sneak. SeaWolf
