Hi Michael:
I don’t go traveling, looking for God: I go traveling, looking for Scots!
Hence, a poem will allay our fears.
THE LAUGHING SCOT
I am the Laughing Scot.
I see the good
In everything—
No matter wot. . . .
People were born equal.
If man were descended from the apes,
Then why are the apes still here?
There is such a thing
as an evil baby after all.
