View on Glenbogle by Useless

That's my boss over there, that old grumbler. But he can also be nice of
course. Sometimes I don't know what he's talking about, like at the time he was
giving me a name. Useless, that's my name. I'm not Useless at all. I really
can't understand why he has given me that name, but I have to listen to it.
It isn't bad to live here. Certainly not in the kitchen with that lovely young
lady. I only have to look on a certain way to her and, when she's preparing
dinner; she gives me something delicious to eat. And then she rubs with her
soft hands through my skin, wooww, wonderful !
Only when that young man arrives in the kitchen she kicks me out of it. It's
just like I might not see what they are doing. What should they do? Hmm. The
young Laird, don't know what it is, but it's just like all the women are
running after him like young puppy dogs. Only when he sees that young
housekeeper his eyes are glancing.
Oh, wait, someone's calling me. Yippiee Ya Ye, it's Greyhair. Sorry, but I
don't know all their names so I've given them my own, that old one did it also
to me. Greyhair always takes me with him in the hills so I can run a lot. Only
when he's going to hunt I don't like it. Then he wants that I'm running for
him. But with my tiny legs I can't run so fast and I'm very tired then.
When I'm back I'm going to rest in the garden with the old lady. She's always
working in the garden. Then she talks to me with her softly voice. Sometimes
it's like she's confused, then she calls me Rommel or Monty. Don't know who
they are, maybe my ancestors?
There's Skirty ! I mean that funny one; he's always wearing a skirt like the women.
My boss only wears one when they give a big party. When Skirty is around I
always have to watch out that he doesn't fall over me. He's always running, but
he's very funny . Once I saw that he was trying to fish. My young boss almost
got the angle in his face. I was glad Greyhair was back to do all that work.
Now Grumbly is calling me again. Oh no, not that game again please. He's always
throwing something in the water and then I may run after it, to bring it back
again. I don't like that game, ok I'll just ignore him, will do just like I'm
sleeping. Stupid Useless he says. Ok then I'll do it for him once. Look there
he's throwing something in the water and he's running away. I'll get it for
him. Where is he now? he has hided himself, oh I see him. Look boss here it is!
What is he doing now; he's sitting there with his eyes closed and his hands
over his ears. He doesn't want to see me; well then I'm away.
What's that Bbraoum! Everyone is running now and is by my old boss. Something's
happened with him? I think so, everyone is crying. Whatever it is, it isn't my
fault, he taught me to bring things back to him.
I'll go to the kitchen to that young lady. I'll comfort her by creeping on her
bosom. Hmmm, can imagine that the young Laird...... OOOOaaaaghh ! I'm sleepy.
Good night everyone zzzzzz........
