Rabbie Burns 250th Anniversary ----

[bothwell_buyer]

a poem.....

Address tae a fart

Oh what a sleekit horrible beastie

Lurks in yer belly efter the feastie

As ye sit doon amongst yer kin

There sterts tae stir an enormous win'

The neeps an' tatties an' mushy peas

Stert workin' like a gentle breeze

But soon the puddin' WI the sonsie face

Will have ye blawin' a' ower the place.

Nae matter whit the hell ye dae

A'body's gonnae hae tae pay

Even if ye try tae stifle

It's like a bullet oot o' a rifle

Haud yer bum tight tae the chair

Tae try an' stop the leakin' air

Shift yersel fae cheek tae cheek

Pray tae God it disnae reek.

But aw yer efforts gan asunder

Oot it comes like a clap o' thunder

Ricochets aroon' the room

Michty me! A sonic boom

God Almichty, it fairly reeks!

Hope I huvnae ***** ma breeks!

Tae the bog ah'd better scurry,

Ach, whit the hell, it's no ma worry.

A'body roon aboot me chokin'

Yin or twa were nearly boakin'

I'll feel better for a while

Cannae help but raise a smile.

Wis him! I shout with accusin' glower,

Alas! Too late! He's just keeled ower

Ye dirty bugger, they shout and stare

A didnae feel welcome ony mair

Where e'r ye be let yer wind gan free

Sounds like just the job

For me

Whit a fuss at Rabbie's party

Ower the sake o' one wee farty.

Eh could it be along the lines of....

Yes certainly sir .... just give me a few minutes and I will Google it for you

Naw... it would more than likely be along the lines of "gawn bile yer heid!"

AN ENGLISH TRANSLATION...............With Apologies to Rabbie Burns ;)

Address to a Fart

Oh what a sleek horrible beast

Lurks in your belly after the feast

As you sit down amongst your FAMILY

There starts to stir an enormous wind

The parsnips and potatoes and mushy peas

Start working like a gentle breeze

But soon the pudding with the JOLLY face

Will have you blowing all over the place

No matter what the hell you do

Everybody is going to have to pay

Even if you try to stifle

It's like a bullet out of a rifle

Hold your bum tight to the chair

To try to stop the leaking air

Shift yourself from cheek to cheek

Pray to god it does not reek

But all of your efforts have gone asunder

Out it comes like a clap of thunder

Ricochets around the room

Mighty me, a sonic boom

God almighty it really smells

Hope I have not ***** my trousers

To the toilet I had better rush

Ah what the hell, its not my worry

EVERYBODY around me choking?

One or two were nearly sick

I will feel better for a while

Cannot help but raise a smile

It was him I shout with an accusing stare

Sadly too late he has just fallen over

You dirty bugger they shout and stare

I do not feel welcome any more

Wherever you are let your wind blow free

Sounds like just the job for me

What a fuss at Robbie Burns party

All for the sake of one small farty

(I will get my coat...................... B) )

I'm very impressed Steve.. only a couple of errors... sonsie was a difficult one as it can mean a few different things depending on how it is used, but in this case I would say it means Jolly as it does in the poem "Address To A Haggis" .......... http://www.worldburnsclub.com/poems/transl...to_a_haggis.htm

Hope you don't mind the edit Steve... was better than posting the whole thing again.

On that topic I think I am quoting one of Raistlin's jokes (permission not obtained )

" You should never try to hold in a fart. If you do, it will go to your head & you will get s.h.i.t.t.y ideas "
