Supreme



I love these machines to pieces.  It's one of my life goals to own one.  When it ceases to run (bless its heart) I'll move it to the yard and my kids can play in it.  Something about them makes me feel like a hug.

Haggis

A friend requested I write a poem about haggis.  I learned what on earth haggis is, and she got a poem.

In the land of the Scots, there is a great dish
For which a valiant young sheep did lose his life
And lo! the offal he did become
Mixed with all manner of ingredients
And stuffed into a bag of stomach
Where he boiled for thrice an hour's time
When the savory concoction ceased to cook
Out it was brought, on a platter fine
And it was placed upon the table
To be consumed with spirits for a merry feast
In the land of the Scots, there is a great dish
By the name, folks say, haggis!

Clearly, I've got nothing on ages of Scottish tradition; I mean, who can beat this?
