*** There once was a poet, English-born, Who heard Scottish heather outshone the morn. “Misunderstood? Grand!” Said he, notebook in hand— And fled where the lochs gently adorn. By Lochside he scribbled in tartan delight, With Irn-Bru in hand from morning till night. He’d rhyme “scone” with “gone,” And the locals would groan— Yet dance at his ceilidhs despite. “His accent’s a crime,” they’d teasingly say. “But his metaphors carry the day.” With bread warm and cheese, He’d charm as he pleased— So they kept their odd bard anyway.
