Old

It's not that I mind getting older

It's just I wasn't finished being young 

I don't want to live forever

Just long enough to get it right

Resoltion

 I'll read Burns this year

And celebrate his birth 

To stay connected to my mother

Whose father

My grandfather

Was a Scott

I'll make vegan haggis

Eat neep and tatties

Listen to the pipes

And remember I'm the grandson

of a Coyle

Recipe

 Books of poetry 

Collections of verse

Gathered like ingredients 

Inspirational seasoning

In hopes of creating

A flavor never yet tasted
