Burns Night today
oh Rabbie would be proud
People will recite and play
whisky drank by the crowds
Haggis will be eaten galore
neeps and tatties even more
Scotland will be partying through
their pride in their poet true
Glenfiddich, Talisker, Dalwhinnie
so many will be drank these whiskies
Happy faces all around
to celebrate a poet so sound
Rest ye well Rabbie Burns
know from all your poetry is learned
All across the world you’re revered
tonight your life to be cheered
And I’ll toast ye today
with a dram or two I say
Robert Burns
Born 25th January 1759-21st July 1796

Thank-you. We had to learn about him at school back in the mists of time. He’s amazing an died so very young. He inspires many till this day. Look some of his work up. I’m sure you can get free books of his online somewhere or buy one? Enjoy finding out more about him.
