Staying on a Scottish theme
From today's Herald diary:
A Scottish Christmas Fairy.
I am a wee little fairy;
On tap o’ the Christmas Tree
It’s no’ a job I fancy
Well how would you like tae be me;
A’ tarted up wi’ tinsel
It’s enough to mak ye boak
An a couple o’ jaggy branches
Rammed up the back o’ your frock
An’ these wee lights a’roon me
I canna get my sleep
An’ there’s the yearly visit
Fae Santa – big fat creep;
On Christmas Day I’m stuck up here
While you’re a’ wirin’ in
An’ naebody says “Hey you up there
Could you go a slug o’ gin?”
The Christmas tree’s a bonny sight
As the firelight softly flickers
But think o’ me – I’m stuck up here
Wi’ needles in my knickers.
Burns would be proud.
