    Default Will the real Rabbie Burns please stand up!

    After talking a wee bit about Tam O' Shanter hones etc. on the hones section I thought I should give a link to one of the funniest Burns poems out. I sometimes use this one as a party piece at events like Burns night. Rabbie was a romantic but he was also a bit of a womaniser and a real mans man. Nothing he liked better than getting drunk with some mates and regaling them with poems such as the one attached below. The Burns Club tend not to promote this side of his poetic licence! There are others...

    I could always do a full translation but that would not be able to be posted unfortunately.

    cheers

    Beautiful. For some reason I never encountered that one in my schooldays.
