sionnach commented on the word scotland
IN Scotland all the people wear
Red hair and freckles, and one sees
The men in women's dresses there,
With stout, decollete, low-necked knees.
(' Eblins ye dinna ken, I doot,
We 're unco guid, so hoot, mon, hoot!')
They love ' ta whuskey' and ' ta Kirk';
I don't know which they like the most.
They aren't the least afraid of work ;
No sense of humour can they boast;
And you require an axe to coax
The canny Scot to see your jokes.
They play an instrument they call
The bagpipes ; and the sound of these
Is reminiscent of the squall
Of infant pigs attacked by bees;
Music that might drive cats away
Or make reluctant chickens lay.
MORAL
Wear kilts, and, tho' men look askance,
Go out and give your knees a chance.
(Harry Graham : Baby's Baedeker)
