Charles Henderson Poet Rhyme

On the Road From Banff To Buckie

I met a spicy young lassie
on the road from Banff to Buckie
Her eyes were full of sparkle.
I thought I might get lucky.
Polite chit chat over cola.
With a nip of apricot brandy.
Her demeanor and wit quite trendy
yet, keeping composure handy.

The short of my story is this. 
I married that lass in the spring.
Her eyes are still full of sparkle.
No longer a bird on the wing.
We met between Banff and Buckie.
Now an old married lady in Leith,
as Edinburgh casts its shadow,
her tenure is framed in gold leaf.

Andrea Dietrich April 25, 2011 at 3:06 PM Two possible other titles: "My Scottish Lassie" or "On the Road from Banff to Buckie." Charles Henderson August 2, 2011 at 11:29 AM

Andrea Dietrich April 24, 2011 at 2:47 PM HOw cute, Charles. It makes me wonder if it is complete fiction or if there is some truth in it. Did you marry a professoress by chance? Why that title? It reminded me almost of a limerick type of poem!
