Dream Sonnet

Aye t’was a beautiful breeze come a wafting through the trees,
The bonnie belles carpeted under the green ivy all a climb,
When along came me lassie, me favourite squeeze,
And to be sure now I’ll have a time of it makin’ this rhyme.

But I’ll not let that stop me, I’ll jest have me a nip,
As I describe me fair dream and the swing of her hip, 
the coarse hair fairly bristling o’er her upper lip,
And her dirty knickers hangin’ below her slip.

Ah such a fair one me heart did skip; to her me mug I’ll tip!
Couldn’t keep me hands off her as her nose begun to drip,
She had dried dinner on her cheek; oh how she did sneeze!
Whilst in girly fashion wiped her nose on her sleeve.

Kin ya blame me barkeep? Can ya try an perceive?
Why I woke in the night and started to heave?

Sounds like a nightmare Robert and it had me laughing all the way to the end. You do portray a Scotsman with great style though even though I know different! :)

Let's hope the negative charms of your lassie were only a dream, else a shower is in order, clean bedding, and a bit of coke syrup. Enjoyed so much. Love, daver

LOL Rob, this lass doesn't sound all that "bonnie" to me...coarse hair, dirty knickers and dinner dried on her cheek??? No wonder you started to "heave." I hope I don't ever meet up with this lass's twin brother! Very funny!! Love, carolyn
