I am a beautiful freshwater pearl
An oyster wasn’t my mum
I was developed by a special mussel*
With a name as long as your arm

My home was in a Scottish river
Fast flowing with salmon aboard

Graced my life nearly a quarter century.

Just like my dear friend, nay ‘Auntie’, Bridie!

The best moments of life can’t be surrounded with misery.
