Fun Scottish poetry
64This one`s for you Drax
Scotland has a great tradition of poetry, we have all heard of Robert Burns,Walter Scott and Robert louis Stevenston.
Over the years i have heard alot of Scottish poetry from lesser known Poets and a few of them have stuck in my mind. i don`t actualy know who wrote them but i am sure you will enjoy the poetry as much as I do.
A small selection of short poems from Scotland
1) On yonder hill i saw a cow it must have mooved, it`s not there now.
2) It`s Christmas day in the workhouse the snow is falling fast, I don`t want your Christmas Pudding stick it up your ass.
3) My Auntie Mary had a canary up the leg of her drawers (knickers) it wouldn`t come down for half a crown ,but down came Santa clause.
4) I went to the pictures(cinema) tomorrow ,I found a front seat at the back,I said to the woman behind me,I cannot see for your hat, she gave me some broken biscuits,I ate them and gave her them back,I fell from the floor to the ceiling and that was the end of that.
5) Skinny Malinky Long legs big banana feet,went to the pictures but couldn`t find a seat when the picture started Skinny Malinky farted,Skinny Malinky long legs big banana feet.
i hope you enjoy them as much as i do.....jimmy

What about Lord Byron he was originally a scottish poet, not an English poet.
Thanks for the excerpts here, had a good chuckle! Being of Scottish descent I get a kick out of such verse.
Cheers, Don

I always knew a slightly ruder version of Auntie Mary!
Auntie Mary had a canary up the leg of her drawers
When she farted, it departed, into a round of applause!

This is my version
tomorrow i went to the cinema and took a front seat at the back. a lady gave me some chocolates so i ate them and then gave them back. I walked back the straight crooked corner and saw a dead donkey die. so i took out my pstol and shot it between the eyes.
