1.     Cobble stone streets lend

to nostalgia but do not

support learning boots. 


2.     American tongues

are sharper than most countries .

Adjust to silence.


3.     Blood pudding involves

dried blood sausage and science.

It’s not a cookie.


4.     The Scottish accent

is a song with a beat.

Learn rhythm not words.


5.     I have learned to like

potatoes and walking and

beauty constantly.


6.     Parties are weekly

Monday through Sunday so sleep

is option and choice.


7.     Pubs pubs and more pubs.

Ginger ale whisky and brew.

Pubs pubs and more pubs.


8.     The sun rises at

9 sets at four so learn

to walk in darkness.


9.     They were right to say

the chill seeps into your bones

You can’t run from it.



10.  New countries are hard

to wear like places you’ve worn

before so be calm.

    This is my reality as I see it in stanzas as I study Psychology, English, and French in Scotland.
