Poem for April 6, 2026

ALTHO’ my back be at the wa’,

And tho’ he be the fautor;

Altho’ my back be at the wa’,

Yet, here’s his health in water.

O wae gae by his wanton sides,

Sae brawlie’s he could flatter;

Till for his sake I’m slighted sair,

And dree the kintra clatter:

But tho’ my back be at the wa’,

And tho’ he be the fautor;

But tho’ my back be at the wa’,

Yet here’s his health in water!
