It’s Robert Burns birthday today and a celebration of his life and poetry.
I was born in Ayrshire and grew up around his haunts.
Tough reading as it’s written in old Scots.

My grandmother is a Burns, I’m a Wallace…grew up reading the stuff. I’m a fan.
Oh, the guy that wrote Auld lang syne?
Nope, not a fan.
George Burns is more my cup of tea. Say goodnight Gracie…
Yay! It’s also Australia Day!
O wad some Power the giftie gie us
To see oursels as ithers see us!
It wad frae monie a blunder free us
An foolish notion:
What airs in dress an gait wad lea’es us,
An ev’n devotion!
My favortie Burnes poem
slightly altered
MY LURVE’S LIKE A RED RED ROSE
O my Lurve’s like a red, red rose
That’s newly sprung in June!
O my Lurve’s like the melodie
That’s sweetly play’d in tune!
As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in lurve am I;
And I will lurve thee still, my dear,
Till a’ the seas gang dry—
Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt wi’ the sun;
I will lurve thee still, my dear,
While the sands o’ life shall run.
And fare thee weel, my only Lurve!
And fare thee weel awhile!
And I will come again, my Lurve,
Tho’ it were ten thousand mile.
