Haggis " Ever Caught One? "

Welcome world as you read this poem

Its about the Haggis

Scottish Highlands they roam

 

The lowland Haggis with legs the same

Evolution from the Highlands they came

 

But the truer beasts, rarely in sight

Run through the hills left and right

 

With one set of legs longer than the other

On the steep Scottish slopes

They don't fall over

 

With the world in recession 

We have a tourist boom

Highland Safari's

Have lifted the gloom

 

So book now to catch your own

Take a photo, email it home

So come the summer, they hibernate

Get on that plane, before its too late

James, Your love of nature is beautiful. I'm enjoying your poetry. I shall soon go back into hibernation again as I continue working on poems for my book. (Thank you Carolyn D.) However, I have really enjoyed your work as I needed a refreshing break. And your work has provided it. Thank you. Lovingly, Dane

The headline reads: "Tourism Boom in Scotland Saves World Economy" LOL, at least it's bringing money into your country. Had to look up "Haggis" and the dictionary said it was a meal made with sheep. I'm sure you are referring to the woolly critters themselves in this delightful write. Save a seat on the Safari Train for me! Your homeland sounds so beautiful.
