Burns Night in St Leonards - 2010

The twenty sixth of January again

And here we are around the festive board

Convivial and comfortably assured

That we are right, and all the world can wane

While we enjoy the fruits of winter's charm,

Haggis, nips & tatties, salmon and prawn

(Though this year cluttie dumplings we will scorn

For we're aware of bad cholesterol's harm).

Then raise a glass to Rabbie Burns once more - 

Even though we do not understand

A word he wrote or, on the other hand,

Have any special love of grouse or moor -

But happily will celebrate with friends

The simple joy of living - till it ends!
