 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 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 wallow

In red sandstone build this structure of grand
Inverness Castle for the Hanoverian stand
But Spring times the best seeing the buttercups
Amidst the Daffodils bloom, once seen, yep!

For the banks turn from greens to yellow
As if painted this way by an artist fellow
But honestly, I can sit here and tell
C'mon, come and see for yourselves.
