Since it's Burns night tonight, I thought a wee topical verse would be in order for fellow Jock Trainzers. Enjoy.

Tae a Fert.

Oh whit a sleekit horrible beastie
Lurks in yer belly efter the feastie
Jist as ye sit doon among yer kin
There sterts tae stir an enormous win'
The neeps 'n' tatties 'n' mushy peas
Stert workin' like a gentle breeze

But soon the puddin' wi' the sauncie face
Will hae ye blawin' a' ower the place
Nae maiter whit the hell ye dae
A'bodys gonnae hiv tae pay
Even if ye try tae stifle
It's like a bullet oot a rifle

Hawd yer bum ticht tae the chair
Tae try an' stop the leakin' air
Shify yersel fae cheek tae cheek
Prae tae God it disnae reek
But aw yer efforts go asunder
Oot it comes like a clap o' thunder

Ricochets aroon the room
Michty me a sonic boom
God almichty it fairly reeks
Hope a huvnae s**t ma breeks
Tae the bog a better scurry
Aw whit the hell, it's no ma worry

A'body roon aboot me choking
Wan or twa are nearly bokin
A'll feel better for a while
Cannae help but raise a smile
Wis him! A shout wi' accusin glower
Alas too late, he's jist keeled ower

Ye dirty bugger they shout and stare
A dinnae feel welcome ony mair
Where e'er ye be let yer wind gang free
Sounds like jist the job fur me
Whit a fuss at Rabbie's party
Ower the sake o' wan wee farty
 
'Tis a fair verse, T'a fart.
Mais ça y est un peu difficle à traduire en français. Heh heh!

Bonne fête, Bonne anniversaire Rabbie Burns

Unfortunately, I won't be able to indulge until tomorrow as it will be too late by the time I get home. Haggis doesn't make an ideal light supper!
 
Wonderful words there !!

Is it only the Scots that have a sing-song competition after a night out having a few drams ? Always remember that from my times in Glasgow years ago
