Thursday Poem
Via NoUtopia.com:
Of a’ the airts the wind can blaw,
I dearly like the west,
For there the bonnie lassie lives,
The lassie I lo’e best:
There wild woods grow, and rivers row,
And many a hill between;
But day and night my fancy’s flight
Is ever wi’ my Jean.
I see her in the dewy flowers,
I see her sweet and fair:
I hear her in the tuneful birds,
I hear her charm the air:
There ’s not a bonnie flower that springs
By fountain, shaw, or green;
There ’s not a bonnie bird that sings,
But minds me o’ my Jean.

Since you've raised the subject of Robbie Burns: The Grace me da recites at every family reunion.
Some hae meat
And canna' eat
And some would eat
But wanna
But we hae meat
An' we can eat
And say:
The Laird be thankit!
(amen)
