River Ness Stroll in the Autumn
A Christmas Day in Inverness
On Christmas Day in our Scottish House
The kids are never as quiet as a mouse
For they know there are presents under the tree
Wondering what Santa has brought for thee
Christmas dinner is a family affair
With turkey and trimmings in delightful prepare
A few glasses of wine or whatever your tipple
Or not too many as your eyes will ripple
If the kids are young we usually play their new games
If the kids are older, mum and dad are just names
The classic movies are always on
If dad gets some new Cd's, he will try and sing songs
Christmas in Scotland is very much a family day
Where we eat to much, and drink and sway
Of the 365 days, it is the best day of the year
So on the 25th of December, i wish you all festive cheer
Christmas Lights in Inverness
Every year, on a chosen date in November
The Xmas lights, are turned on in their splendour
Through our town centre, and along the River Ness
They bring cheer to the season, in their illuminated finesse
On the very same night, Santa appears
He is telling the children that Xmas is near
As they walk through the town centre, singing carols of song
They follow his sleigh, for with Santa they belong
This year is a first, as there will be charity lanterns
To raise funds for so many, who all become our concern
In Inverness Scotland, at this special time of the year
To all you out there, we wish you the best of Highland cheer
A River of True Blue
This stretch of blue
Through my city it runs
Under bridges of old
And the newest of ones
Through a channel of green
To the Moray Firth
Its idyllic in vista
The view is well worth
Can you imagine
When you sit on its banks
The clear fresh air
In atmosphere thanks
On its bend to its right
In contour follow
On the hill their stands
A view to swallow
In red sandstone build
This structure of grand
Inverness Castle
For the Hanoverian stand
But Spring times the best
Even though, there are buttercups
But when the Daffodils bloom
They just don't seem enough
For the banks turn
From greens to yellow
As if painted this way
By an artist fellow
But honestly Soupers
I can sit here and tell
To be totally honest
You have to see it, for yourselves
Winter Coat Instrumental
I'm sitting by the river in the centre of Inverness
In a place we call the islands, beauty in capture finesse
It's late into the evening as I listen to the cold grey flow
So soothing in this tranquil setting, inside I'm all aglow
I take this time to pause and close my eyes and listen
For in my mind I picture the full moons rivered glisten
This winter coat instrumental resonates with echoing sounds
Pipistrelle bats and Starlings flock, the latter in roosting surround
Whilst in the distance canines bark in a language we can't even comprehend
The picking up of natures delights, in unlimited voiced transcend
As I sit through these melodic notes I begin to realise
That I am here to hear these sounds and every ones a prize
I'm still sitting by the river in the centre of Inverness
If you ever desire to sit beside me, please do, you'll be my guest
