Nessies Freedom

Nessie's Freedom If you’re ever at Loch Ness even in full highland dress, put away your skean dhu, order up a round or two. Nessie really likes her bevvy but drinks only Scottish heavy, so don’t proffer Irish stout or you may be carried out. With a toast to the Black Watch she might sip a little scotch, though proportions of her gullet spell a need for a deep wallet. But if none of this concerns you she may smile as she discerns you, and there’ll ever be a welcome as you drink to Nessie’s freedom. PS: There is a third poem in this series about Nessie, called At The Tartan Bonnet. I don't think I have shared it here.

You are so clever, Keith. What a gift for humor you have. I had to read this one after seeing the earlier Nessie poem. Ar yo Scottish? I felt like I was sitting with you at a Scottish tavern, gazing at Nessie enjoying her heavy bevvy. Awesome! Thanks for posting these uplifting poems and giving us some laughs.

Yes, I am indeed Scottish. There is a third poem in the Nessie series but I think it meet to call time on them for the moment.
