A love in verse

To Scotland

We met in Scotland: to her I say

Greetings on St Andrew’s Day!

She’s sort of Scottish by consent

You draw her back (p’raps she was lent)

A man of patches stepped north too

And loved her, took her back from you.

Ah, Scotland, ah – and did those feet

So GORGEOUS walk the Glaswegian street?

And did those eyes in Sauchiehall gleam

Blazing blue, a Hibernian dream…?

Well, tough, I’ve got her, way down south

I hold her sweetness, kiss her mouth

But all the same, Hibernia thanks 

To town and glen, lochs, braes and banks!

Coming Home in the Rain

Coming home in the rain

To my home again

My kids, my wife.

The heart of my life...

What Makes Sense

Though seasons turn it shan’t be hard

To see those last years out

Must find things different, catch them starred...
