AnElephantCant blog everyday
Sometimes he is just too puffed out
He can’t feel the force
He falls off his horse
Or he is quite the thick uncultured lout
On these days he stays in and ponders
Where he may have mislaid his muse
If he can’t be creative
He just goes all native
Takes out his bagpipes and plays some sweet blues
Can it be that he is feeling homesick
Does he pine for the hills and the glens
His heart light as a feather
As he dreams of the heather
Is it time to go back home again
To the snow and the sleet and the dampness
And the cold that gets into old bones
Which soon start to ache
Oh give him a break
Winter in Scotland doesn’t hold any unknowns
There is still way too much of America
Unseen and too much to be done here
So he opens the curtain
Surveys 2013
And looks forward to more adventures this year
AnElephantCant help thinking
That Penny now has a red face
This latest response
With some nonchalance
She has posted in quite the wrong place
Shorry, shweetheart!
Bugger!
Yes you will miss Alba alright
but don’t lose your missions sight
do not shed a homesick tear
Alba will always be here
so while you still have your health
desire and the wealth
Go …. enjoy yourself. !

AnElephantCant forget his main mission
Is to explore and conquer new worlds
Not so sure about wealth
But speaking for himself
He likes San Fran and California girls
AnElephantCant forget his main mission
since it was solely his own decision
to fit new shoes to go clippity clop
now like a boy in a sweetie shop
ignoring artefacts or historic fixtures
too busy devouring US Dolly Mixtures
I wasn’t sure if you were back for 2013
But I guess you just have to play it by ear.
please try not to get homesick
Maybe shopping will do the trick
And have a wonderfully Happy New Year
AnElephantCant really be homesick
He is having a hoot over here
The folk are great fun
No one has a gun
So AnElephant has nothing to fear
I’m glad you are having a great time. I imagine the New Year must have been some what different to Hogmanay. I hope AnElephant has a brilliant 2013
A great way to start 2013, exploring America! Although I like the idea of your playing bagpipe blues! Wonderful images come to mind!
AnElephantCant play blues on the bagpipes
To tell fibs he is sometimes inclined
His attempts to make music
Can make a deaf coo sick
And also he is quite colour blind
