This year our class competitions will be held on Monday 5th February and the finals will take place on Thursday 8th February. Please encourage your young person to learn one of the following Scottish poems. A paper copy will be sent home this week.
Polis – JK Annand
It’s great to be a polis.
A muckle strappin polis.
And stride upon my beat.
The Shoat cries, “The Polis”
To gamblers and to goalies
When I come up the street.
When we’re the traffic polis.
Motorists hae to thole us
And draw up unco quick.
And gif the motor stole is.
We lift them holus bolus
And pit them in the nick.
Doctor – JK Annand
Up drives the doctor
In his big car.
Comes ben the room
And speirs hoo ye are.
“Stick oot yer tongue.
Cough. Say ninety-nine.
Let me feel your pulse.
Hen, ye’re daein fine.
“Orange juice for denner.
At tea-time, same again.
An aspirin for supper
And ye’ll be richt as rain.”
Robin Reidbreist

Robin, Robin Reidbreist,
Happin on a brier
Oot amang the snaw and ice,
While I sit by the fire.
Tell me in your bonnie sang
That ye’re my frien sae true,
And I shall gie ye meat and drink
The hail winter throu.
Happin on a brier
Oot amang the snaw and ice,
While I sit by the fire.
Tell me in your bonnie sang
That ye’re my frien sae true,
And I shall gie ye meat and drink
The hail winter throu.
