Ode Tae The Bru
Wee sleekit raspin’ throat aye thirsty,
Whit bonny dram’ll cure the thirst that ails thee?
Will it be the liquid fire that some fowk named whisky?
Nay! That will mak’ thee spin an’ spew an’ much more thirsty!
Chieftain o’ the hangover cures,
The drink Ah need is not obscure!
It’s orange sheen does gie me hairt
(An’ it does need a guid kick stairt!).
This drink’ll mak’ me aye go manic,
But bonny lass, thou shouldna’ panic!
Ah wid but dee wi’ tirin’ whisky,
But wi’ this drink Ah’ll aye get frisky!
Noo Ah’m feelin’ under par,
So Ah’ll go up tae the bar,
Gie the barman money due,
An’ order a can ae Irn Bru.
A light-hearted nod to Burns, written c.1996
