A Poem by Diane Thomson


If ye never ventured tae Skye this year

then ye missed a remarkable scene

For a vegetarian wis abandoned in a car park

in Portree just by the green

Vince's group headed off tae Dunvegan

while Harry's staggered up Bla Bhein

Leaving a wee nursery school teacher

stranded sadly on her ain

Those heartless coastal walkers

how dare they make her cry

And after she'd been tae Safeways

tae replenish their supplies

She called them for everything

as she tried tae track them down

From the Cuillins tae McLeod's Tables

She cursed every piece of ground

Ah thought that she wis wae Harry

he thought she'd gone off wae Sue

We all tried tae blame each other

If You'd been there we wid've blamed you

Caroline,We are all truly sorry

please feel free tae get us all back

We never meant tae leave ye

Yer The Leader of The Pack!!
