A beautiful poem with sustained Scottish 'vernacular' adding a challenge and enjoyment to your piece. I did pretty well with it, I think, coming from a Scottish background.

A very different read, I also enjoyed the accent and the inflections of your voice. For sure it add a special dimension to your words. Congratulations in being one of the best of the month.

I love the picture. I love the poem. I loved the Scottish accent. You sure did a lot of author notes. I read them all the way through. I like bathroom humor. Nothing is too important to be safe from humor. I read for fun, but I also learn. I learned a lot from this poem. Thank you .

I love this poem written with the Scottish brogue. I recall one year I had a student recite My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose to the tune of Auld Lang Sine (sp) while attempting the vowel-sound shift to create the Scottish flavor. It was entertaining and memorable.

I have to admit the vernacular is a bit difficult but you always give the reader the translations in you author notes. I am not always up to being patient enough to wade through but when I am I am never disappointed. You're verbal presentation is an added gift. If this is your signature, I would never change it either.

Aye! This one goes straight to my Scot-Irish roots. And I knew most of the words without having to check your wisely added glossary. Best wishes with this entry.

I, for one, love your Scottish vernacular as a colorful and unique form of poetry. This poem rhymed beautifully in a classic aabb rhyming format. The verse was both beautiful as well as educational. I applaud your efforts to keep this tradition alive. I'm also never offended with a little bathroom humor. As a fellow competitor in this contest, I wish you the best.

I enjoyed reading your poem about this famous fellow. Rabbie didn't live to be very old, did he?. I enjoyed your notes as much as I did your poem about Mr. Robert Burns. Take care my friend. Bill

I remember teaching some of Burns's poems to my high-school seniors. I vividly remember their initial response to "To a Louse": "EEWWW!" I enjoyed your tribute to Burns.

This is a nice tribute to the poet who, for sheer humanity, outstrips all the others. Will you be holding a "Burns Night?" Hope so!
