Yet another garden blip...… 

Just received a wee poem in the Scots vernacular, you might like it!

Tae a virus

Twa months ago, we didna ken
yer name or ocht aboot ye
But lots of things have changed since then,
I really must salute ye
Yer spreading rate is quite intense,
yer feeding like a gannet
Disruption caused, is so immense,
ye’ve shaken oor wee planet.

Corona used tae be a beer,
they garnished it wae limes
But noo it’s filled us awe wae fear.
These days, are scary times.
Nae shakin hawns, or peckin lips,
It’s whit they awe advise

But scrub them weel, richt tae the tips,
That’s how we’ll awe survive.
Just stay inside , the hoose, ye bide
Nae sneakin oot for strolls
Just check the lavvy every hoor
And stock-take, your loo rolls

Our holidays have been pit aff
Noo that’s the Jet2 patter
Pit oan yer thermals, have a laugh
And paddle ‘doon the waater ‘
Canary Isles, no for a while
Nae need for suntan cream
And awe because o' this wee bug
We ken tae be ..19

The boredom surely will set in,
But have a read, or doodle
Or plan yer menu for the month
Wi' 95 pot noodles.
When these run oot, just look about
A change, it would be nice
We’ve beans and pasta by the ton
And twenty stane o rice.

So dinny think yell wipe us oot
Aye true, a few have died
Bubonic, bird flu, and TB
They came, they left, they tried
Ye might be gallus noo ma freen
As ye jump fae cup tae cup
But when we get oor vaccine
Yer number will be up.


Stay safe and healthy!
