At last...another (and long awaited) Traveler's Tale from John R. Yaws...I received this one just this past week. - poetheart 01/29/02
'Tis dark wi' gloom me life's become-
Long wend the weary miles...
And long it's been, since I 'ad friends...
Or seen a maiden smile.
An' 'eavy, aye, the weight o' years,
'ave caused me frame to bow.
I once stood strong, an' resolute...
Faith! Ye shou' see me now!
The scars wha' lace me 'ere an' there,
'ave come fra many blade-
'Tis wha a mon cooms to expect,
When fightin' be 'is trade.
Me eyes now long for 'ighland 'eath,
I feign wou' see me kin-
Buchanan is the clan I claim,
We be bold, fightin' men!I'm merely tired, an' feign wou' rest-
An' tip a cup o' ale...
Then off I'd be to wield me blade-
An spin me Traveler's Tale.
