Elsies Ground


I set out a canvas 
and six bending sticks.

If its a trying yer after
Fer testing the ticks

Down past the willows
a rather flat spot

Go raise a hut
and build ye a cot.

Take the retriever, 
a shot, and a round.

Sleep and relax 
as I hear every sound.

I pray that this wee one 
marries the stars.

On nights in my garden
Walled from 'er wars.
