    Default 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!
