Algy Hears Snatches of the Loch Monster’s Song

Reclining quietly by the edge of the loch at the end of a busy day, Algy could hear faint snatches of the loch monster’s song, as it roamed the watery depths. It sounded very much like the song of the Loch Ness monster:

          Hovoplodok – doplodovok – plovodokot – doplodokosh?
          Splgraw fok fok splgrafhatchgabrlgabrl fok splfok!

[Perhaps you may not hear the monster singing in Algy’s loch, but you can read the full text and listen to an audio recording of The Loch Ness Monster’s Song performed by the poet Edwin Morgan himself.]

Clouds Add Colour to Algy’s Sunset Sky

Sitting in his tree on a fine West Highland spring evening, Algy appreciates Rabindranath Tagore’s thought:

“Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add colour to my sunset sky.”

[Verse 292 from Stray Birds by Rabindranath Tagore, published in 1916.]
