  I said, "Oh, kind miss, it most certainly does"
  She says, "you must be jokin.'" I say, "I wish I was!"
  Then she says, "you don't read women authors, do you?"
  Least that's what I think I hear her say,
  "Well", I say, "how would you know and what would it matter anyway?"

  "Well", she says, "you just don't seem like you do!"
  I said, "you're way wrong."
  She says, "which ones have you read then?" I say, "I read Erica Jong!"
  She goes away for a minute and I slide up out of my chair
  I step outside back to the busy street, but nobody's going anywhere

  Well my heart's in the Highlands, with the horses and hounds
  Way up in the border country, far from the towns
  With the twang of the arrow and a snap of the bow
  My heart's in the Highlands
  Can't see any other way to go

           --Bob Zimmerman
