~~~ Traditions lead to streets of dream to scant abodes beneath the green So tiny small 'neath gardens tall with russet stacked above them all ~ Their chimneys waft of fire's stoke the meek step forth though bashful folk The pitter pat of little feet arise the length of Little Street ~ They take my hand as pipers chant descend the street with river's dance Around about the dancers croon to every home I'm blessed ... buffoon ~ Tranquil glade amongst the heather sparks ignite the moods in feather Flames leap forth as cauldrons coddle tubers roast as whispers twaddle
Pipes I fill and pints I swallow
Tip 'em Back their chant seems hollow ~ Breaking bread their stew yumm - titious though in my head their brew grows vicious ~ Little Street a fading glow still ... I was little once you know The shutters close the visions wane their magic carves my hiking cane Another day another plane the child inside
