Basil's Holiday

I heard the loft open and saw the suit cases

They're going away I could tell by their faces.

But to my big surprise I'm going along too

Have they packed enough goodies and something to chew?

We travelled all night and I stood all the way

There were views to be seen so I coped with the sway

We arrived at the croft and there were sheep all around

I did say hello but they didn't recognise my sound

I played in the heather and ran up and down hills

I swam in the lochs and ate gigantic meals

There were rabbits to chase and a friendly dog nearby

We played in the sun and chased clouds in the shy

We travelled afar and I heard otters shriek aloud

We visited the places where there wasn't a crowd

I drank from the streams and saw deer on the moor

I had my picture taken I thought that was a chore!

Now that I'm home I shall dream of the days

When I slept by the rock that was named MÒr Carraig

Love Basil (3rd July 2000)
