Christmas gift?  -

outliving another pair

of shoes is enough

a tap dreeps  -

a tap drips  -

nagging on

at the old man

i the burd bath

ice moutenin

...hame-cumin tae''ts maker

in the bird bath

ice melting

...returning to its maker

 the auld tod

follaes the sin  -  syne

curls it the en o ilk beam

the old fox

follows the sun  -  then

curls at the end of each beam

a blackie chirms

frae a cage

o nakit brainches

a blackbird sings

from a cage

of bare branches

white-headed as well

 i the perk

drouthies gove ruefully 

in the park

birds turn over fallen leaves  -

winos gaze ruefully
