Originally ''òg", was my nickname...





                                                                  Young/òg


Tha mi òg!/I am young! when referring to 'Murray';
you'll frequently meet him within Dunbeg's shop...
or others like William... well tended to, anyway:
local store - useful and handy for a wee stop!

Murray's endlessly occupied ~ is continually busy,
however, he'll have time for their customers too:
that's part and parcel of the service... not easy;
much better than supermarkets/wee shops? too few!

Before long, he's taking some time away: St Kilda;
yet, business people get 'married' to their tasks,
but holidays are priceless... more joyful than "aha!"
afterwards, says "fully-refreshed", if anyone asks?

During a brief conversation with my friend, Murray Young, who sometimes calls me by an old nickname: 'Og' - from my teenage years - which was spelt in an English style, of course! The title of this poem is, evidently: 'Young/òg' - the same as young: òg' ~ simply a translation between two languages, English/Scottish Gaelic... as I am of a bilingual family, sometimes I draw from both languages in my poetry writing... even an amateur poet may experiment, occasionally! 😉

Rediscovering Agus Reusing?             From  Wed. 17.01.2024 👍 Drafting Section Poems + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Obfuscate Make obscure, unclear, or unintelligible, Don't mention Westminster; incomparable? , I'm a humble Wordsmith scribbler, Y' see, However,WE doodling scribblers, decree. That my amateur rhyming's a superiority;  London's political nonsensical stupidity. Unravelling Kingdoms eventually disappear, Afterwards, reborn countries do reappear! Ewenart © Ewen A Morrison e,24.12.22 Purblind Having an impaired or defective vision; partially blind Slow or unable to understand; dim-witted - bear in mind Ineffably for insanity, Westminster might come to mind Unreal Kingdoms and London's dominance of MSM's unkind Slow or unable to understand... Simply being dim-witted Having impaired or defective vision - NEVER is admitted Alas, did NOT study Scottish-English history from 1705 Professor Alfred Baird contrasts this to everyone alive Contemp

  Brothers Angus and   Roderick, Both Scottish sons, struck; Angus fatally...  Roddy not, Roddy, more fortunate Scot. Eternally remembered, loved, Were Lost, injured and beloved, Dearly, calmly contemplated; Done, knew, and meditated. Revered through passing ages, While lacing histories pages; Angus's memories truly last, Always echoing through past.   Safely you walk in freedom, And welcome as if you come; Here in freedom, as was won, Can bask in freedom's sun.

 Colonized-elites SNP elite has chosen to serve as a colonial administration Extremely deceitful and most treacherous NuSNP's deception The colonizers' agents are ignorant: where sovereignty lies The politicians aren't serving their voters; so we despise Both Holyrood and Westminster, hey have condemned their own  Nation and people through their inaction and deceit: disown The outcome's “a calcified colonized society”  -  UK beside Originating internally alongside corset imposed from outside More than three centuries have passed - as I'm writing this And realising that our ancestors had similar feelings to us Centuries, more like minutes, between the ages we discuss...  Quietly Resuming Scotland's independence peacefully, no fuss! Ewenart © Ewen A Morrison ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Elegant Elegance sounds both grand and respectable  But the above can sound rather egotistical Also/agus, my old-man was quietly ineffable Our bilingual forbears were/are respectable D
