the season to be leavin'
now winter was a'coming
the COLD was drawing near
the winds were up to gale force
the kids began to fear
they had a family meeting
and put it to me straight
we think that you should move inside
we don't think you should wait
i like my independence
i need to do my thing
and so i thought to stay awhile
enjoy the chill wind's sting
my son was flabbergasted
"now, ma" he had to say
"if we leave that small van out there
it's bound to fly away"
ahhh, so i let him tow my van
inside the big courtyard
he tucked it in a corner
the wind blew much less hard
i commandeered a heater
to help fight off the cold
but man, that van was chilly
i now began to fold
i moved into the farmhouse
the room beneath the eaves
where it was warm and cozy
now everyone was pleased

Ooooo, I love it when private space gets carved out and claimed. And, Sandwriter, Starr Ann really is glad you moved inside, too. You know how she values snugness. You know how she does.
if starr ann or indeed your ownself should ever wish to... experience scottish snugness... i would be more than happy to volunteer my not so humble...exceedingly excellent services;-)
Dang! Just found this. Is there a land route to Scotland from Kentucky? We only travel on horseback, you know.
