My Heart's in the Highlands

 A poem by Robert Burns - Scotland's national poet

My heart is in the Highlands, my heart is not here,

My heart is in the Highlands a-chasing the deer,

A-chasing the wild deer and following the roe - 

My heart is in the Highlands, wherever I go!

Farewell to the Highlands, farewell to the North,

The birthplace of valor, the country of worth!

Wherever I wander, wherever I rove,

The hills of the Highlands for ever I love.

Farewell to the mountains high covered with snow,

Farewell to the broad valleys and green valleys below,

Farewell to the forests and wild-hanging woods,

Farewell to the torrents and loud-pouring floods!

Recently spotted on display in a New York City shoe salon, these strappy black satin Schiaparelli stilettos (with leather lining) are adorned with golden brass toes and removable satin bows on the strap. The 105 mm heel (4.1 inches) will flatter the curve of your leg. 

If you prefer a more casual shoe with equally distinct brass toes, a Schiaparelli sneaker is also available.

A Yacht Scott Is Not

Here floats a red tugboat named Scott.

Who prides himself hot as a yacht.

But his crew men act crass,

Big brutes filled with sass.

A yacht Scott most surely is not. 

Quiver Liver in River

Here swam a fine tugboat called Quiver.

Who shoved a large barge up the river.

But his dignity fell,

From the pungent bad smell.

Of cargo containing raw liver.
