And even more than that and "canapé"—
His own best kind of present,
A heart and mindful bezant—
So I could write a verseful hogmanay!
And just in, this from another friend, Kat:
Oh, hogmanay, hogmanay, hogmanay!
When fireworks blaze to paint-start the day;
First footing & redding,
Bells, dancing, late bedding,
And juniper burned to keep ghosts at bay.
