I did some research
To find my ancestory kin,
Found a poem he'd written
"The Lady Of The Lake" in 1810.
I was amazed
By what I had found,
My ancestor was a poet
It nearly knocked me to the ground.
On August 15
In the year 1771,
Sir Walter Scott was born
A future poet to everyone.
When he was young
He was in much strife,
Had an attack of polio
It gave him a lame leg for life.
A collection of poetry
He had written,
Prose writing, ballad collections
As well as tranlation.
I couldn't have been more proud
To have a blood line of poetry,
With enthusiasm I'm filled
Very proud of my ancestory.
Thank you
Sir Walter Scott,
My blood, my ancestor
From you, I've learned a lot.
