Lassie, maught ye tell me- If there be an inn nearby? A place to lay me weary 'ead- An' ere ye make reply... I see the question in yer eyes, Aboot the trade I ply- Indeed I am a man o' arms, A fightin' man am I. Buchanan is the clan I claim, 'Ose tartan proudly wears... An' scars an' marks o' many wars, Me weary body bears. An', aye, I am quite long in tooth, To be a fightin' man... The only time I feel complete, Is wi' me blade in 'and. I've fought the bloody Tartans- Upon the frozen plains... An' dry an' arid deserts- Yet 'old me foes remains. An', aye, I ken the Romans- I likewise ken the Greek... I dinna think I'd like a world, Were peopled by the meek. Honor, lass! An' fortune- Of these I would avail... But tell me...if there be an inn? Thus ends meTraveler's Tale. |

whether he be on the Cimmaron or in the Highlands, a certain breed travelled the same path, just at different times with different scenery. Enjoyed the read. |
