Scotland - the last hurrah of empire!

A passionate declaration of Scottish independance!

Scotland - the last hurrah of empire!

 

John Knox has a lot to answer for

In this Presbyterian Alba

Damn referendum

a Trojan horse o’ confusion

an’ Tory misinformation

I could go on ad nauseam

Even unto independence

Frae oor close pals in England

a place with no soul

and I’m no counting the Geordies

Scousers an’ Punjabi’s

Who still hae a culture

 

ignore all scare stories frae

Eton mess o’ privately miseducated buffoons

even Nick has sold his unliberal soul to the deil!

All right-thinkin’ folk

ken that bedroom tax an’           (ken-know)

cutting benefits o’ every ilk        (ilk-kind)

sucks!

 

Think back to Maggies milk

stolen frae the mouths o’Scottish bairns    (bairns-children)

an’ don’t even mention BlairBroon

the twins (non-identical) frae hell

I might just swoon!

It’s just the start!

If too many, fooled by

Scary stories in trashy rags

And lured by nonexistent English gold

 say NO

we’re well and truly F…….

AYE WE CAN !       (aye-yes)

Brilliant! It took me a few reads due to the language but that was part of the fun. Sort of like cracking a code. A true representation of our English Government. Will we ever learn from our History? People in this country don't care enough about Politics anymore. The percentage of people voting has decreased massively over the years.

Great read, Alan. I look forward to reading more from you.

Thanks once again for your kind words. I see that they rhyme.

[Gee]

Hoist the saltire, build the wall, venture through only to wreck Wembley, by the way, can we have our pitch and goal posts back. Really enjoyed this Alan

[alanwgraham]

Cheers, alan

[Gee]

Lol, think I qualify to travel freely through my Glaswegian born father

[forgotten_ghosts]

I somehow don't seem to understand this. On the one hand probably because of the language in a few parts but on the other hand somehow because of the content..sorry

[alanwgraham]

Sorryy about that! I can completely understand your problem with this one. It is meant to be an imaginative take on the scottish referendum.
I realise that there are lots of references to the personalities and local political history and issues. I would love to explain it all but it would take some time. I must consider whether it is fair to inflict this on such a wide audience. I promise that most of my stuff is quite accessible!
Thanks for you helpful review.
