Burns Night

The best bits are at the start and end:
Some hae meat and canna eat,
And some would eat that want it;
But we hae meat, and we can eat,
And sae the Lord be thankit.

Then this:
Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face,               (sonsie = cheeky)
Great chieftain o' the puddin-race!
Aboon them a' ye tak your place, (aboon = above)
Painch, tripe, or thairm:
Weel are ye wordy o' a grace
As lang's my arm.


etc. etc. etc.

Of course, the Loyal Toast...

Hmmm. Then a toast to the "lassies" (whatever they are...)
and then maybe some dancing.

Crazy!!!

(PS In case you were wondering, yes, this post has very little to nothing to do with astronomy or thesis writing....)
