A Wee Verrse Parody for Burrn's Nicht
Wee, slickit, tim'rous beastie,
Ane's a digit 'at's a leastie;
Twa is mair a'tho' ye ken
On o'r way tae caunt tae ten.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
We'er we tak' a lik' o' not?
We'er the dee be bricht o' foggy,
I wad stoop doun 'n fastna ma broggie.
'Till a' the seas gang dry my dear,
Thre' is ane a' twa, my dear;
Whilst yet ano'er ane mak faw.
Tae cum ye in, kek a' the daw.
Ane = One. Twa = Two
Thre' =Three Faw = Four
Fastna ma broggie = Buckle my shoe
Kek a' the daw = Knock at the door
