Gi yer caber to me in ma glen
and then do it o'er again
sweat out the fat o' yer cheps
drep on and intea ma leps
Get oot ya neeps and wee tatties
and gev ma haggis a threl
stuff ma stomach wi fatty foul
entrails tel ah have had ma fell
set me ablaze wi your pipes
and watch as ah dee ah reel
then get up under ma kelt
and gee me nethers a feel.
McEdna's a braw wee boy
he's a rebel writing rousers
but, auch, McAyPee's aware
he's only a tart-en trousers.

As a southern girl born and bred

I liked the line "gee me nethers a feel" as this reminded me of what my old Headmaster used to whisper after lights out.

It's an entry in a contest about Scotland put up by Edna Sweetlove. She's a great poet and a harsh critic. I wrote this to be read in a broad scots accent. Sorry if it puzzled you!
