Tha Scunger

Up fae tha screich
an oot as weel
Scho runs aroon
tha moss an fiel.
Her Ma an Da
the gie a gulder
Quhan her tae's on tha taible
bot naeb'die's funn her.

Quhan in scho cums
it's aye gan lait
Her tae 'aes stuck
on tae tha plait.
Scho then'll waant
tae g'oot again
Bot scho's juist toul
"Git up abain !"

"Tae bed wi ye,
wee scunger !"

by Richard Archibald
