I really don't think (even in the wake of Christmas Day) I can believe
this.
Burns's Greatest Poem was Holy Wullie's Prayer.
If yir cawin Tam o Shanter, how about "The Cottar's Saturday Night", which
if it comes tae puke-making ...
Oh god, if yir makin a book on this crap, howzabout Fergusson's "Braid
Cloth" vs. Leith Races?
Standard Habbie:
I went tae the law an the law said:
Gime a piece an I'll gie yae one.
Chucked it oot the winnow an it
Hit the pavement
Sad but that then -- wae it gaes, but ...
Dae the hing and cry fur yir wanes then.
... sometime never an aw yir past, hen.
Stochious.
Look, I +know+ that the above is neither Standard Habbie ("Habbie Simpson,
the Piper of Kilbarachan"), nor Fergusson nor Burns, but ..
:-(
