Premium Member Comin' Hame - Coming Home -Scottish Dialect

A angry sky, as cauld as Loch Lomon'
fair drew me out from cot o' peat, an' bed.
The wolves wus wailin', an' thund'r respond'd
Ah gather'd tam, me tartan, an' dug Red.
To  'orse ah took an' found the 'erd sam 'urt. 
The 'ungry wolves 'ad already fed. 
Inta the bi'er blaw, the rill ah skirt 
thro braes a white, t'ward ham an' fire burnin'
the bleatin' sheep, the 'orse an' ah alert.
We wud mak it hame, stomaches churnin'
O smell the peat fire on the wild wind now,
'ear the cows faint distant ca', a lowin'
'erself wud know, we'r near ta the brow.
Noo, we 'ad beat the storm hame, an' kep' me vow.



Dedicated to Jimbo Goff & James Fraser
and the spirit of Robin Burns

Zila the Chinchilla

Zila 'the killa' chinchilla as he was known
Sat in his villa on his golden throne
He was a marvel a maverick a real joker
A prancer, a chancer, a lifelong nonsmoker 
Our boy 'the killa'.
Never mediocre, always bodacious 
With girls he was, I say, flirtatious
Feeling alive never monotonous so audacious
Fur so soft they cried "goodness gracious".
That a boy the killa.
He put his looks to use
Cringey styles gave him abuse
On the catwalk flawless a real Zeus
Shuffling on four feet he did enthuse
The little bugger was let loose
Our furry friend the killa!
He did play hardball he made a racquet 
His fame put him in a new tax bracket
Shops now selling his slick leather jackets
The naysayers who said he won't hack it
Killa's chirping like a feathery blue tit
Our dear old friend the Killa!
If there's something the Killa can teach us
To profit in this world you gotta have guts
Analyze that minus and change it to a plus
He made no fuss he never cussed 
Call him a wus he will go nuts
He's one of us, the Killa!

Premium Member The Thistledown Fairy's Crown

Thistledown wus his name and sometimes he stung, well actually his stem stung. The stinkers gave him a bad name, they did! Handsome wus he. Aye, the ladies loved him. Coming near to his full bushy head of royal purple pomp, thought he smelled good too, they did, bees to his honey.

Summer time was his time, the time to bloom. His thorns served as fairy swords. An', on mass, he an' his guarded the fey's mound. Thistledown kept the cows from trampin' the wee ones. An' the cow plops from offendin' the Royal's wee noses. No hoof falls made treacherous the field's lay. 

Suren, he wus sharp this fine boyo. He did 'ave a soft side, a sure sweetness. When fall's goddess Mordron* brought the chill down, he softened. Queen Mab* sent fey to catch his whitened crownin' glory, as each strand, a silken treasure, soft fell and so, Ole Thistle lost his head, for from his crown, and its down, wur made sheets of silken softness for the Tuatha De Danaan's* beds. 

*Goddess Mordron/Welsh mythology, Modron ("divine mother") 
* Queen Mab of the Fairy
* Tuatha De Danaan pre-Christian gods represented as heroes or fairies.
[Tribes of the goddess Dana]

Bubba's Away At College

By Elton Camp

Howdy, Leroy, how’s you and you’rn?
I ain’t seed you since th' baby was born.

Livin’ way up hear in th’ mountain,
Of th’ days I sorta lose accountin’.

Well, Jim, as fur as I kin tell
We’se doing tolerable well.

Lulu’s marriage has at last been laid.
Wuz getting’ afeared she be an old maid.

Kinda bad fer her to be publicly seen.
When she’s wuz single at fourteen.

And Bubba’s got as big as a bear.
He’s ugly enough to throw a scare.

What kind of job did Bubba ever get?
He wuz always too lazy t’ break a sweat.

Fer him, schoolin’ wus a mite too tough.
Th’ schoolmarm made it mighty rough.

Bubba ain’t been around for many a day.
Because off to a college he went away.

Jim looked at Leroy with suspicious doubt.
Since he had to wonder what that was about.

Nothin’ like thet I’ve ever seed.
Why old Bubba, he can’t even read.

Hit must be you has money to burn.
How, in college, can Bubba learn?

Leroy realized that he hadn’t made it plain
How at a college big Bubba could remain.

You has plumb th’ wrong idea there, Jim.
Bubba ain’t studyin’. They’se studyin’ him.

Thn, But, This, and Now

i used to bee the T'keyah Thatt -
Laughed at others whn they were hurt,
cared only about myself,
played entirely too muchh,
thought i wus [above] othrs whn it came to my education,
tried to be bestfriends with the teacher,
only went places with Alexis Rutherford
always put it in my head that i would NEVER disappoint my mother,
& stayed mad at my father because he wus never in my lifee . .
 
, but thn -
middle school camee alonee,
boys caught my eyes,
teachers weren't like they were at Vineville Academy,
my mind became maturer thn my agee,
i wus introduced to more thangs for older kids,
i convinced myself to question my father about thangs i wantd to know
& i looked at life wayyyy differennt .
 
Thiss Causedd -
me to separate myself from others,
my mind to wonder on . .
me to act up jus for attention,
mee to do the thangs my mind wondered about,
me to understand why my daddy wus never here [im still trying to understand]
& mee to do simple thangs to fit in , but only to find out that once its gone, you never get it back:/
 
But Noww -
I'm that T'Keyah who -
is always smilingg
always helping others
forever giving advice even whn i cnt take my own,
always waiting for others to realize that once I'm gone, you'll regret the way you treated me,
always crushing on someone,
always laughingg cause its just that fun,
always makingg ppl smile even whn i'm down in the dumps myself,
always crying behind closed doors//
always blaming herself 
always lying to herself to make her believe certain thangs.
is missing her uncle jay
thinks nobody loves her,
always questioning "Why" on her life from back in the past,
BUT NEVER regretting any of it, because at one point in time. . that's exactly what she wanted:))

Marie of Ecosse

Sound of a song softly sung rose in the air and through windows
Barred to let air and light in and little else.
A lament sung in Gaelic tongue foreign to ears used to French,
But its meaning understood bringing tears .
Longingly she peered through the bars over the countryside and trees,
Fine they looked in their fresh green coats.
White cloud scarse in the azure blue of afternoon sunlight,
Her heart broken in myriad pieces.
In this old castle surrounded by water was this to be her fate,
To die in a stony room of shadows.
Her resolve it grew and plans were formed to escape this place,
Meeting  a friend of old  named Douglas.
One dark night a boy crept close holding a key for the wooden door,
Disguised as a woman of servitude she escapes.
In a small boat on the dark waters of the loch oars slashing ,
Taking her away inch by inch .
Fearful of pursuit by her captors hearing the oars dipping,
Hoping the dark night would cloak .
Was it a failed marriage that brought her here trickery abound,
Perhaps because I am a woman bold.
A queen she was of  royal descent staunch in her beliefs
Castigated by a bitter old man .
Tricked and used by men of power abuses beyond her ken,
Unable in accepting a Queen  especially o a different faith
Gaiety an sobriety wurnae fur them.
Allus dressed in black lukin like giant craws
Strutting aboot as if they themsells were yon creaturs o the Earth,
Using their Holy Buik tae tell ithers whit tae dae,
Nae room fur forgiveness frae them big craws.
They plotted oan weys tae rid themsells o this decadent Queen,
Ne,er mind that she wus Queen o their laund
Rather be under Eglish Liz she wis a protestant efter aa.
How foolish ur the plans o men who hae a conceit o themsells.
Who wid use ithers tae dae the durty work
Aa tae keep therr ain hauns clean an free o blud,
But a budy kens who they wur especially therr Goad abune
Lookin doon oan those who plot tae kill,
Tae further therr oan station an fortune.
Gawin agin whit the Guid buk seys deceived intae
Daein the work o the deil.
Shame o these guid men o Scotlands past,
Shame oan therr deceitful weys
An tae thie dey their descendents dae the same,
Selling an betraying therr kintrey for profit an gain.

Premium Member He Needs Support - Reposted As Collaboration - Bawdy Warning

Jock stumbled - pals called him a wus
(No injury was obvious)
But Jock bruised his willy
And now he feels silly
With todger strapped up in a truss 


WRITTEN BY JAN ALLISON

Old Jock had injured and bruised his man thing
His doc said "Jock, you'll need a tartan sling"
He's now looking quite built
Bulging under his kilt
Lassies swoon when he does the Highland fling.

After a week his thing turned black and blue
Jock said "hoots mon, what am I ganna do"
But he'd left it too late
Doc had to amputate
And now poor Jock has to sit on the loo.

WRITTEN BY TOM CUNNINGHAM

He washed his new jock, it was new
So it tightly embraced both its crew 
But after the race
Oh what a disgrace
His now aching partners were blue


WRITTEN BY JOHN LAWLESS



Jock stumbled and he landed face down
Injuring the jewel in his crown
His bruised pride and joy swelled
By awe it was beheld
Jock's tackle became talk of the town.

The doctor said I know just the thing
To give support to your ding-a-ling
Doc got Jock's bits strapped up
Jock swore and he cussed
For doc said it could be longstanding.

Jock's dilemma can be seen by all
He's going nuts because of the fall
He's craving free willy
To swing willy-nilly
And longs to unstrap his cannon ball.

WRITTEN BY BELLE BELLEVUE

Now Jock knew about liquid nitrogen
But sprayed on far more than he might have done
So just when it mattered
One tap and it shattered
And Jock said Hoots mon, me old fright’ner’s gone

He said Doc, I need a new caber
My wife has never gone through labour
The Doc held his gaze
Grabbed three treble A’s
And sewed on on a three foot light sabre

WRITTEN BY TERRY FLOOD

Jock managed to get his willy banged up, 
He cried loud like a little newborn pup, 
Stayed in bed a week, 
It hurt to take a leak, 
All because he slipped on his sippy cup

Out of Sight, But Still In Mind

in reality we all say, its nuthang like the first time. .
but what could we possibly be talmboud ?
in my case, i would usually be talmboud loosing my virginity, but itss nuthang like that!
its nuthangg like the first time whn love almost blew my mind..... 
 
It wus like the perfect little love story , written all outt . .
movies every weekend withh three othr friends, chillinn' everyy friday, & sunday!,
kisses everyyDAY! & a mother N' law and daughter N' law connection..
if i wusn't in my right mind, i wouldv'e thought that it wus `Truu` love, but now that i look at ALL the imperfections that i ignored , i see that it wus FAR from `Truu` lovee ;/ .
some ppl say i played myself for you & i couldn't much agree more causee i see it now . .
i knew youu had ths chick & that bxtch on thaa side, but i wus too young/ dumb/ & blinded by what i thought wus love that i simply ignored thee fact that youu were jus usinn me for some type of confidence boostt
 
now that i look backk on all those words we shared,
the memories never forgotten, 
& the fact that i said i'd always be here & for some reason i [ meant ] it . .
but i guess tha only reason wus because youu said it back, but the only difference is you DIDN'T mean it !
now i'm still stuckk while you're lovinn her & i'm stuck trying to find that one boy who reminds me of you. .
i came across a few, but it felt too good to be truu :// ..
 
now youu're leavinn out of sight,but still in mind & 
i'm sad, still loving you & mad because i cnt rewind! 
if youu ONLY kneww . . . .

To a Granchile

Let me tell you something sweetie
Let me tell you something chile
Come ova heyah
And talk to gran’ma fo’ a while

I see yo’ face is twist’d 
And yo’ eyes is dark and they is cold
I rarely see that in tha young ones
But mos’ly in those who old

I’s watched yo thro’out 
Yo hectic and unstable life 
Taking on so much grief
And havin to deal with so much strife

I see yo hearts been hardened
And yo eyes dey look so bad
And for a young one
This is very, very bad

You is supposed ta know sunshine
And have some blue skies
Not have so much pain
That’s darkened them bright eyes

Now ya see I’ve climbed some mountains
And been in some valley’s low
There wus some times
I aint know where to go

But I got through
Thas why I stand befo’ you now
To tell ya that you can make it
Some way and some how

You see man is a terrible creatura’
And will treat ya bad
He’ll make you spit, make a curse
And jus make ya’ mad

Man will say that you can’t make it
And that you aint very sma’t
Well darlin’ I’m here to tell ya
That life is a art

You have to masta it
Like some math or some clay
And once you do, Ha!
What will man have ta say

He’ll be so angry at you
For provin him wrong
That he’ll say
Yo’ success aint gonna last long

But ignore ‘em
And hold yo head high
Why honey if you want
You can touch da sky

Now rememba these words
That yo gran’ma say to you
And in times of trouble
They’ll bring ya through

Premium Member Periwinkle's Tales

G'day friends, I'll be fer intraducin' me self ta ye. I be Periwinkle, cook ta the High Court of Fairieand teller of tall tales. Hang a peony seed round ye wee ones necks, so ye donna lose them ta the fairie and I'll begin. 

Todays tale is of Asclepias's pod boats. Fer drunk wus God on Ascle's wine when He made the whole world. 

As told, Mordan had brought fall to the land and stalks dried. They fell from Ascle's arms as charcoal gray pods. The soldiers of the Seelie* Court took them and made boats with butterfly sails. How proud wus Auscle that his milkweed pods would serve the Fey King. All of Auscle's parts were precious ta the fey his seeds served as stuffin' for the Fey Courts gamesons. His flowers brought butterflies. And so, as fall passed to winter Auscle's gave, he gave his life's blood to heal the wounded, his boats brought war.

Complicationship

relationships start out like a thousand pound ship, brand new with no chips or rips, no doubt that youll make it, with  hands held side by side ready to get on lifes wild ride, still questions to define and trust knots to un-tie, hoping wut they say is not a le, so u try to find wuts on the other side of there mind,. but then u unlock there internal mansion and realize it's not wut u ever could imagine. but u want to help more then anything, but sometimes when u help it seem like u mess up everything, its really quite interesting. how do opposites become such a great match, like one has a hook and the other has a latch, destined to attach and clash goin 90 on the freeway all good then crash., leave on eachother tattoos or a rash. different each time, u eather want them with u forever or want to say goodbye, somwtimes u want love to multiply or divide, i dont know exactly, it would grow make u happy or end very badley. could go on and on about how love could be there then be gone, much to long to expalaine wus right  and wuts wrong.  cuz no relationship is the same just a little bit similare in a way
