Anither wee Scottish poem ...... For the more sophisticated

Slaggy Sanga fell in love
She planned to marry Joe
She was so "Happy" bout it all
She told her Faither so

Faither told her "Senga Doll"
You'll hae tae find anither
I'd just as soon yer Maw don't know
But Joe is yer half brither

So Senga put aside her Joe
And planned to marry Wull
But after telling Faither this
He said there' trouble still

Ye cannae marry Wull, My Doll
And please don't tell yer Mither
But Wull and Joe and several mair
I know are yer half brithers

But Mither knew and said, My Doll
Just do what makes ye Happy
Marry Wull or marry Joe
Cos Faither's nae yer Pappy

:-D :-D

Talking about Tunnocks teacakes. went to Morrisons this morning to get some Tunnocks Plain chocolate caramel wafers but they did not have any but I did get some Plain chocolate teacakes.
I wouldn't mind but I was up in Aviemore last week and could have got any amount of Plain chocolate caramel wafers.
Never mind, I got Fruit Pudding and caramel logs locally today.

Forgot to say - I brought a load of Ecclefechan tarts back from Aviemore!!!

My Scottish Pride

My Scottish pride, I will not hide.
My Scottish race, I will not disgrace.
My Scottish blood, flows hot and true.
My Scottish people, I will stand by you.
Through thick and thin, till the day we die.
Our Scottish flag, will always fly high.
I shout this poem, louder than all the rest.
Because everyone knows, we Scottish are the best.

OFTG I like that!

My Flag's unfurled and so we stand
If called upon we come
Our Scottish Blood may well be spilled
But we will soldier on
We watch them through the mist
We will not move we will stand guard
Though they stand with cudgel and with fist
Together the enemy we face
Cos we are the Nobelist Proudest Race

;-) ;-)

GG and GL,

I am a Hearts supporter, but I feel the Dons are going to have a good season. They have a young lively go-ahead Manager.

Agree Robert it's been a long time coming and
as long as they keep on what they are doing
(only been two games) hopefully they will give their
supporters something to smile about for a change.

Emma :-)

TAE A FERT

Oh what a sleekit horrible beastie
Lurks in yer belly efter the feastie
Just as ye sit doon among yer kin
There starts to stir an enormous wind

The neeps and tatties and mushy peas
Start workin in a gentle breeze
But soon the puddin wi the sauncie face
Will have ye bawlin al ower the place

Nae matter whit the hell ye dae
a'bodys gonnae have to pay
Even if ye try to stifle
It's like a bullet from a rifle

Hawd yer bum tight tae the chair
Tae try and stop the leaking air
Shift yersel fae cheek tae cheek
Prae to god it doesnae reek

But aw yer efforts go assunder
Oot it comes like a clap a thunder
Ricoches aroon the room
Michty me a sonic boom

God almighty it fairly reeks
Hope I huvnae sh!t ma breeks
Tae the bog I better scurry
Aw whit the hell it's nae ma worry

A'body aroon aboot me chokin
Wan or two are nearly bokin
I'll feel better for a while
Cannae help but raise a smile

Wis Him! I shout with accusin glower
Alas too late, He's just keeled ower
Ye dirty bugg*r they shout and stare
A dinnae feel welcome any mair

Where e'er ye go let yer wind gan' free
Sounds like just the job fur me
Whit a fuss at Rabbie' perty
Ower the sake o'won wee ferty

:-D
