Fantasy creatures

Liner Notes
If you've been to Scotland you might have seen one yourself. Due to their endangered species status, I'm not even allowed to name them in this song....
Lyrics
Only now beginning to be understood For centuries there were only rumours Now wild or farmed splits opinion of consumers They are able to disappear at will
Though they live together in family groups They are happiest on desolate hillsides Away from the gaze of man Eating their fill of heather and thistles
They are strangely shaped creatures With longer back legs than those at the front These are designed for running up hills For when speed is of importance
Famously irritable for no known reasons Unfashionably clothed whatever the season And now they even cater to vegetarians In olden days that would be seen as treason

nice song, really paints a picture. Really cool story. famously irritable for no known reason would make a great bumper sticker.

I love these fantasy creatures and your song. I also wouldn't mind being able to disappear at will.. The last verse made me smile.

Needed my G-Todd fix today. I am stumped by the actual subject matter but I sat in for the mellow mood
Sounds like my german co-workers (no disrespect to any who may see this who are German and/or my co-workers!)
Great tune Gordon!
