For all my fellow Towners on Burns night as rhey should be enjoying a proper meal...

 

Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face,

Great chieftain o the puddin'-race!

Aboon them a' ye tak your place,

Painch, tripe, or thairm:

Weel are ye wordy of a grace

As lang's my arm.

 

The groaning trencher there ye fill,

Your hurdies like a distant hill,

Your pin wad help to mend a mill

In time o need,

While thro your pores the dews distil

Like amber bead.

 

His knife see rustic Labour dight,

An cut you up wi ready slight,

Trenching your gushing entrails bright,

Like onie ditch;

And then, O what a glorious sight,

Warm-reekin, rich!

 

Then, horn for horn, they stretch an strive:

Deil tak the hindmost, on they drive,

Till a' their weel-swall'd kytes belyve

Are bent like drums;

The auld Guidman, maist like to rive,

'Bethankit' hums.

 

Is there that owre his French ragout,

Or olio that wad staw a sow,

Or fricassee wad mak her spew

Wi perfect sconner,

Looks down wi sneering, scornfu view

On sic a dinner?

 

Poor devil! see him owre his trash,

As feckless as a wither'd rash,

His spindle shank a guid whip-lash,

His nieve a nit:

Thro bloody flood or field to dash,

O how unfit!

 

But mark the Rustic, haggis-fed,

The trembling earth resounds his tread,

Clap in his walie nieve a blade,

He'll make it whissle;

An legs an arms, an heads will sned,

Like taps o thrissle.

 

Ye Pow'rs, wha mak mankind your care,

And dish them out their bill o fare,

Auld Scotland wants nae skinking ware

That jaups in luggies:

But, if ye wish her gratefu prayer,

Gie her a Haggis!

And you'd need a bottle of Scottish liquid refreshment to get through it!!.

We will be celebrating Burns Night this evening in the Happy household with Cockaleekie soup followed by Haggis Neeps and Tatties and a fine Isle of Bute cheddar. This will be washed down with a fine single malt.

 

However, I have been on the Internet to find out more about Burns. Bl**dy Hell, his poetry is [****!!****]!!!!!

Just got back from The Moon Under Water. Their Haggis neaps and tatties were brilliant - The Caledonian Ale was magic too!

 

"It ’s guid to be merry and wise,

It ’s guid to be honest and true,

It ’s guid to support Caledonia’s cause,

And bide by the buff and the blue.

Here ’s a Health to Them that ’s Awa’."

 

Robert Burns
