Last  Wednesday the p5s  did  an assembly. They recited  “The Address to a Haggis”, some Doric poems and poems they had written themselves. They wrote their own poems in the same style that Robert Burns , on subjects such as “Address to a Jelly Bean” and “Address to a Chicken Tikka”.  Here is one of the Doric poems, written by Sheena Blackhall,

Up The Stairs at bedtime

Up the stairs at bedtime
Gie yer face a dicht
Hae ye myne’t tae clean yer teeth
Makk sure an dae it richt!
Fin at last yer sleepin
The teeth pirhanas sweem
Oot fae their hideyholes
Far teeth fairies gleam
Roon yer moo they’re huntin
Fur teeth that they can howk
Teeth pirhanas seekin
A puckle teeth tae powk.
