<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Excellent poem Bob,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Gang,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>A latter-day Rabbie Burns has written the following
poem concerning a Burns Supper. See what you make of it!!</FONT></DIV>
