Kilts & Stilts

Scotch Mist

I’m feeling lofty, on a high,
I feel that I can touch the sky.
I relish all admiring stares,
And smile benignly, tout my wares.

I proffer leaflets to the masses,
They’re so red-faced those little lasses.
The mums and dads look really miffed!
Whatever could have gone adrift?

I bend down lower, hear some shrieks,
And feel a draught round my bum cheeks!
Mums are tutting, dads go crazy,
What follows this is VERY hazy…

Please heed the moral of this rhyme:
When you get dressed, just take some time,
Remember do not wear your kilt,
When you’re parading on high stilts.

I've been married to Rob for 45 years, we have two daughters, five wonderful granddaughters and two naughty dogs. I have lots of interests, I love crocheting, knitting and I've just started a rag-rug! My passion though is writing and I'm very proud to say that I've self-published 2 books, 'Doggie Deliberations' is all about my dog's antics, and '...then I'll begin', is an anthology my jottings. I'm looking forward to being a Silver Surfer and I will enjoy reading other Surfers' writing as well as sending in my own scribbles!
