Hang on - wear not where
not not knot
So which are the four spelling words?
Anne the Pleater :ootd:
Well, he's from California, so it's probably not luck/look. The accent has 2 pronunciations here. I'm guessing its: weight(wait), steel(steal), wear(where), vain(vein).
At highland games I like weight over bar,
with luck, the steel will go far.
It's tradition, my kilt I wear,
I'm not vain, but I know people stare.
Gosh I hope I'm right...given all the lab reports I grade, I might sound like a fool right now.
