The Check-Oot Quinne's Lament by Sheena Blackhall
Tatties, neeps, and ingan,
Poother for the wash,
Wullie's needin new sheen,
Grip, skyte, flash.
Sweeties, ale, some flooer,
A tinnie wi a bash.
I'm wirkin like a robot,
Grip, skyte, flash.
Safties, glesses, bacon,
Eyntment for a rash,
Ma hoose is like a midden,
Grip, skyte, flash.
Mealie jimmies, ganzie,
Cheque, or caird, or cash,
Ma dowp is dottled sittin,
Grip, skyte, flash.
Aathin's in a hurry,
Fowk in sic a hash,
Customers anonymous,
Grip, skyte, flash.
A trolley like Ben Nevis!
Michty, fit a fash!
I'm scunnert and I'm foonert,
Grip, skyte, flash.
Noo ma shift is endin,
Beans and orange squash.
Hame tae dee the hoosewirk,
Up, oot, dash!
