Calling All Markethill Poets!!

The blog club are asking you to enter this fantastic competition. Write a scottish-themed poem or limerick and add using the comment button. Alternatively write your poem down and give it to your teacher. There are some fab prizes to be won. Here is an example:
There was an auld wifie fae Macduff
Who woke up one day in a huff
She louped oot o’ bed
Skelped the tap o’ er her head
And yelled, ‘That’s it! Enough is enough!’
Thank you to Mrs Laing, Mrs Maclean, Miss PS and Miss Bremner for your contribution!

PS. This poem was written by Lois in P5/6/17.
As she also provided me with an illustration, I thought that I would upload both here rather than add as a comment. This is her poem.

Oh the haggis was affa fine,
We’ neeps, tatties and a wee sup o’ wine
Some people dinna like it you see,
But it’s just the richt supper for me.
