Haggis " Ever Caught One? "

Welcome world as you read this poem Its about the Haggis Scottish Highlands they roam The lowland Haggis with legs the same Evolution from the Highlands they came But the truer beasts, rarely in sight Run through the hills left and right With one set of legs longer than the other On the steep Scottish slopes They don't fall over With the world in recession We have a tourist boom Highland Safari's Have lifted the gloom So book now to catch your own Take a photo, email it home So come the summer, they hibernate Get on that plane, before its too late

James, Your love of nature is beautiful. I'm enjoying your poetry. I shall soon go back into hibernation again as I continue working on poems for my book. (Thank you Carolyn D.) However, I have really enjoyed your work as I needed a refreshing break. And your work has provided it. Thank you. Lovingly, Dane

The headline reads: "Tourism Boom in Scotland Saves World Economy" LOL, at least it's bringing money into your country. Had to look up "Haggis" and the dictionary said it was a meal made with sheep. I'm sure you are referring to the woolly critters themselves in this delightful write. Save a seat on the Safari Train for me! Your homeland sounds so beautiful.
