And so sometimes it was fun.

But we were paired informally, by the school’s ethos done,  
For those serious...

Born in Aberdeen Washington 
where he hung out,

“Underneath the bridge, 
the tarp has sprung a leak”

Taught himself to play guitar, 
liked to smoke some weed,

Sent down to Edinburgh to die,
The brother of the Laird

As it was when we have left,
Not from the very begining,
As this is Halloween,
Or the Night of Samhain.

Of this tale of four lost souls,
Trapped in a forbidden place,
Where once terror and

Tension so thick

Hands mold your body while you let me

Eyes lock
Bodies in shock

Controls your desires
Whispers in your ear hot fantasies...

Night,
A taxi, over...

To the queen of Aberdeen
A soulful crave
A willing knave

Her heart she gave
A love to save
And offers up no more

The Aberdeen bus arrives, deposits and boards
the same people daily. One is the dark-haired

quintessence. The sun dispels...

I long to traipse across lavender heathered hills
and look across the North Sea as a winter wind chills.

Lovely are the woods of Aberdeen,
With many a grassy hill and sudden ravine,
Far beyond the most recent care,
Where the ruby sun doesn't dare.

Color as rich as soft velvet,
Deep green now and deeper yet.

Four hundred and eight million years or more
ago, these mandibled arthropods were alive
left years to languish in the fossil drawer,
unearthed again, just crushed remains survive.

A giraffe who was new
At the Aberdeen Zoo
Heard a bagpipe askirling one day.
He tracked down the player
And offered to pay her
If she kindly would teach him to play.
