Happy Burns night!

Here be a salute to Robert Burns with a copy of his famous poem taken from the Scottish poetry library.
(If you would like a translated version check this link out- http://www.robertburns.org.uk/Assets/Poems_Songs/toahaggis.htm)

Address to a Haggis.

Fair fa’ your honest, sonsie face,
Great Chieftain o’ the Puddin-race!
Aboon them a’ ye tak your place,
Painch, tripe, or thairm:
Weel are ye wordy of a grace
As lang ‘s my arm.

The groaning trencher there ye fill,
Your hurdies like a distant hill,
Your pin wad help to mend a mill
In time o’ need,
While thro’ your pores the dews distil
Like amber bead.

His knife see Rustic-labour dight,
An’ cut ye up wi’ ready slight,
Trenching your gushing entrails bright,
Like onie ditch;
And then, O what a glorious sight,
Warm-reekin, rich!

Then, horn for horn, they stretch an’ strive:
Deil tak the hindmost, on they drive,
Till a’ their weel-swall’d kytes belyve
Are bent like drums;
Then auld Guidman, maist like to rive,
Bethankit hums.

Is there that owre his French ragout,
Or olio that wad staw a sow,
Or fricassee wad mak her spew
Wi’ perfect sconner,
Looks down wi’ sneering, scornfu’ view
On sic a dinner?

Poor devil! see him owre his trash,
As feckless as a wither’d rash,
His spindle shank a guid whip-lash,
His nieve a nit;
Thro’ bluidy flood or field to dash,
O how unfit!

But mark the Rustic, haggis-fed,
The trembling earth resounds his tread,
Clap in his walie nieve a blade,
He’ll make it whissle;
An’ legs, an’ arms, an’ heads will sned,
Like taps o’ thrissle.

Ye Pow’rs wha mak mankind your care,
And dish them out their bill o’ fare,
Auld Scotland wants nae skinking ware
That jaups in luggies;
But, if ye wish her gratefu’ prayer,
Gie her a Haggis!

Grow and Play outdoor toddler Group since 2020!
As EcoGrow's longest standing outdoor session Grow and Play has been supporting local families for over 5 years in Birmingham! We believe that regular access to the outdoors forsters a deep connection with nature and that starting young will allow participants to shape an important understanding and respect for the great outdoors and themselves... the younger members of our community are the pillars of the future - future politicians, teachers, scientists, parents, inventors, business men and women.
Whoever they grow up to be, lets give them a good head start by getting them outdoors as often as possible!
💚💚🌱🦋🌱💚💚
