Haggis


Mark the rustic haggis fed
The trembling earth resounds his tread
Clap in his wally neive a blade
He'll mak it whissle
And legs an arms and heads will sned
Like taps o thrissle." We're a violent lot, or we rattle a lot of sabres anyway.

"Bring a Scotchman frae his hill
Clap in his cheek a Highland gill" - Scotch whiskey, same effect -
"Say such is royal George's will
An there's the foe" -we suspect Burns of irony here
"He has nae thought but how to kill
Twa at a blow."

As Burns Night and The Chinese New Year are both this week I think I'll treat the wife to a 'chinese burn'.
