    Smile Ode to the Clan Convenor

    “In the early mists of dawn you’ll see us driving in the stakes
    Raising up our standards while the world slowly wakes
    An army of great highlanders converging on the moor
    While waiting for the doughnut stand to open up its door
    We’ve memorized the clans and septs, and all the surnames too
    ... Proving we’re all kith and kin, connecting us to you
    But if your name’s not on the list, there’s no need for despair
    We’ll just look it up in a bigger book, it’s bound to be in there
    Some say that we’re silly, others say we’re clean bereft
    To sit here in the noon-day sun in nine yards of the best
    But if you think we’re crazy, then just take a look around
    At the loonies strangling pipes and pitching tree trunks at the ground
    For we’re the worsted warriors; the clan tent cavaliers
    We never miss a Highland Games, you’ll always find us here
    So come on in and sit you down, and have a drop of cheer
    And we’ll figure out a way for you to be sitting here next year!”

    Thanks for sharing this. I have shared it with my fellow convernors of my Clan Society. They have enjoyed it also. Did not know of the Men of Worth and thanks to Google now do!
