Poetry for my trip to Scotland

A large Beastie in the wilds of Scotland

I have been away

But now I’m back

I have been

Exploring Scotland

With my haversack

I got to see a Polar Bear

A Seal, some Dolphins

And an Artic Hare

(Ok the Artic Hare was hiding)

At first I stayed near Inverness

Ten feet from the sea

Where I ran about on the beach each day

As that is the sort of chap

I tend to be

(Yes OK I say ran I mean stagger about)

I then headed off to Aberdeen

To visit family

And they cheered and clapped

And said many things

Like gosh it must be time for you to go

And we were going to phone

But then well you know

Life is so jolly busy

And you are after all a bit totally mad

But it is good to see you we are very glad

And my cousin Andrew said DAMN

You have discovered my new address

But I said it was just an educated guess

And then I headed home

But was made rather ill

By a Motorway service Death Sausage

Which was certainly

Not a thrill

But I am getting better by the hour

And I’m sure sometime soon

Some ice cream

I will devour 

You will be please (I hope) that I did manage to do some drawing of the things I saw. for the first few days I had the wrong type of pen and so I need to have a think about how to use my little cheap photo editing program to tweak the pictures to their best. Then about half way through my holiday I found some much better pens in Tesco, yes that was a bit of a surprise I am seldom in Tesco but it was near-ish to where we were staying. It is surprising what a difference a pen makes to the way we draw and write and stuff I am sure there must be some sort of science to all this. 

I will try and use some of these drawing in the coming days but I was very ill last night when we got home due to a death sausage bought in a well known independent motorway services up north a bit. I have not felt that poorly in a long time and due to a lack of sleep I am still a bit away with the faeries. 

you see I always tell the truth
