Excellent poem Bob,
but please don't send it to any list mates with haemorrhoids as flatulence hurts. Don't you know about these things? An Atholl Brose (just bottled and distilled our own brew with personalised labels - selling at $1500 each) chaser is essential when eating Haggis.

I've just GOT to share this with you LISTMATES!
When Cell Block 7 was in Scotland, Lorna and her squeeze, John McDonald, drove our van. We've gotten to be very good friends...they stayed with us for several days when they came over for the San Diego Thanksgiving Festival.
She just sent this to me...
Jazz content?? "Big Noise From Winnetka"!

Hi Gang,
On Wednesday the 25th January we celebrate the birth of our National Poet - Rabbie Burns. We drink toasts to this Son of Scotland, read his poems, sing his songs and eat lots of turnip(neeps), haggis and mashed potato. Also, we eat "The Haggis" - The great chieftain of the puddin' race with its "sonsie" face.
A latter-day Rabbie Burns has written the following poem concerning a Burns Supper. See what you make of it!!
John and Lorna
Oh, what a sleekit horrible beastie
Lurks in yer belly efter the feastie
Just as ye sit doon amang yer kin
There starts to stir an enormous wind
The neeps and tatties and the mushy peas
Start workin' like a gentle breeze
But soon the pudding wi' the sonsie face
Will have ye blawin' all ower the place
Nae matter what the hell ye dae
A'bodys gonnae hae tae pay
Even if ye try to stifle
It's like a bullet oot a rifle
Hawd yer bum tight tae a chair
Tae try and stop the leaking air
Shiffy yerself fae cheek tae cheek
Prae tae God it doesnae reek
But aw yer efforts gae asunder
Oot it comes like a clap o' thunder
Ricochets aroon the room
Michty me!! a SONIC BOOM
Good God Almighty, it fairly reeks
Hope I huvnae shit ma breeks
Tae the bog I better scurry
AW, what the hell, it's no ma worry
A'body roon aboot me 's chokin'
Wan or two are clearly bokin'
I'll feel better for a while
Ah cannae help but raise a smile
WIS HIM !! I shout wi' accusin' glower
Alas too late, he's just keeled ower
Ye dirty BUGGER they shout and stare
Ah dinnae feel welcome any mair
Where e're you be let yer wind gan' free
Sounds like just the job fur me
Whit a fuss at Rabbie's perty
A' ower the sake o' wan wee farty!!
