On Commissary Goldie's Brains

by Robert Burns

Lord, to account who dares thee call,
or e'er dispute thy pleasure?
Else why, within so thick a wall,
enclose so poor a treasure?

It was a great night for haggis, and I thoroughly enjoyed Robert Burns Day in Vancouver, Canada as well. A very happy Robert Burns Day to you all in Scotland.

I'll have to celebrate next year. When I was a senior in high school, my English class had Robert Burns day, and we listened to recordings of his songs that someone had set to music and ate shortbread. I had forgotten about that until now, but it was fun. What's haggis anyway? Or do I not want to know?

It's a reclusive creature with two short left legs used for running quickly round hilltops. Once the glens were filled with grazing herds but then the railways came...
