A Thistle Luiks at a Drunk Man

A thistle luiks upon a chiel deid-drunk
Aa pish an blethers ... fu o fusky-spunk
"His wife will bairn nae Wallace wi yon randy
Faith aa he's fit tae play is cock-a-bendy
The Flooers o the Forest's wede awa
Scot's patriotism's peed agin the waa"
The thistle murned.
"The maist o men's aa mou
Teem-tabards, T.V. tots, or ram-stam-fu."
