A Red, Red Rose by Robert Burns
My late dad (a career poetry lecturer) loved Robert Burns.
O my luve's like a red, red rose,
That's newly sprung in June;
O my luve's like the melodie
That's sweetly played in tune.
As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a' the seas gang dry.
Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi' the sun:
O I will love thee still, my dear,
While the sands o' life shall run.
And fare thee weel, my only luve,
And fare thee weel awhile!
And I will come again, my luve,
Though it were ten thousand mile.
O my luve's like a red, red rose,
That's newly sprung in June;
O my luve's like the melodie
That's sweetly played in tune.
As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a' the seas gang dry.
Till a' the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi' the sun:
O I will love thee still, my dear,
While the sands o' life shall run.
And fare thee weel, my only luve,
And fare thee weel awhile!
And I will come again, my luve,
Though it were ten thousand mile.

A few years ago my son attended Guelph University in Guelph, Ontario.
To my surprise he summoned me to attend the Tribute to Robby Burns.
Well I am so fascinated with my son on stage I showed up with a friend.
This is something to see my Afro Caribbean Canadian offspring in a Kilt.
The words of Robby Burns set to music which was a great hoot to me.
My son on stage with the twang or brogue of a Scotsman well I thought..
Many thoughts I hope that kilt is fastened securely joked my friend and I.
We laughed about the Front seat; the whole auditorium as well in trouble.
Well he had a solo and from the word go the crowd were in stitches.
Well I was not aware Robby Burns was so much a kinky rouge.
The Fans of Robby Burns or Robert Burns enjoyed every rendition.
Look forward to Haggis with a brogue which kept the performance alive.

The Kiwi Boy
What to do, with a kiwi like you,
Smile and twinkle, and hope theres
some to spare,
as you look around the cupboards that are bare..
Oh no, not a cookie one or even two!!
Just a little treat in a fella like you.
Glimpse
Where have we gone, to kingdoms and back
Up mountains and planes on the horses back,
Such a small mist and yet a mountain dew
Thats going to capture a Big spirit like you
Travel the past and distance the future,
as time will go, no matter the nuture.
I want ,I will, and be as you, the only
true time, is now .... why dont you!

Hello Neil Davis,
