From Holy Willies Prayer

O thou that in the heavens dwell
Wha as it pleases best yersel
Sends one to Heaven an ten to hell
A for your glory
And no for any good or ill
They've done afore ye.

Thats the first verse and is taken out o context but what an insight.

[Elenna]

Two verses from Green Grow the Rashes spring to mind:

The war'ly race may riches chase,
An' riches still may fly them, O;
An' tho' at last they catch them fast,
Their hearts can ne'er enjoy them,O.

and then:

Auld Nature swears, the lovely dears [ie, women]
Her noblest work she classes, O;
Her 'prentice han' she try'd on Man,
An' then she made the Lasses, O! ;)

"I can remember when the air was clean and sex was dirty."

George Burns (the comedian)

[dook]

And one o Burn's lesser known

The auld Mondeo
did she reek
Wi a gasket warped an bent
a wummens dish clout did ah fix
an noo she's wirked ah week

[Whitewater]

Burns with thoughts of expats wrote this many years ago, this is just one verse of a very special poem.
ADIEU! a heart-warm fond adieu;
Dear brothers of the mystic tie!
Ye favourèd, enlighten’d few,
Companions of my social joy;
Tho’ I to foreign lands must hie,
Pursuing Fortune’s slidd’ry ba’;
With melting heart, and brimful eye,
I’ll mind you still, tho’ far awa.

I must admit it is from a poem about his masonic friends, but it applies to all.

Rabbie Burns belongs in the past. A complete pile of kack, just like Sheakspeare. Who can relate to the bollocks he wrote?

I understand this better than the rubbish Burns wrote. I've owned 3 Mondeos. :D

Are you trying to say that Scottish History is a thing of the past?
