Scots Poems
As part of our Scotland topic all classes are learning a Scots poem. Paper copies of the poems have been given to all pupils to learn at home and are also shown below. The Primary 2 poem is Twa-Leggit Mice by J K Annand.
Twa-Leggit Mice by J K Annand
My mither says that we hae mice
That open air-ticht tins
And eat her chocolate biscuits
And cakes and siclike things.
Nae doubt it is an awfu shame
That mice should get the blame.
It’s really me that rypes the tins
When left alane at hame.
But jings! I get fair hungert
And biscuits taste sae nice.
But dinna tell my mither for
She thinks it is the mice
The Primary 3 poem is The Sair Finger by Walter Wingate.
The Sair Finger by Walter Wingate
You’ve hurt your finger? Puir wee man!
Your pinkie? Deary me!
Noo, juist you haud it that wey till
I get my specs and see!
My, so it is – and there’s the skelf!
Noo, dinna greet nae mair.
See there – my needle’s gotten’t out!
I’m sure that wasna sair?
And noo, to make it hale the morn.
Put on a wee bit saw.
And tie a bonnie hankie roun’t –
Noo, there na – rin awa’!
Your finger sair ana’? Ye rogue.
Ye’re only letting on!
Weel, weel, then – see noo, there ye are.
Row’d up the same as John.
Pupils will be chosen to perform their poem in front of judges and the winners from each stage will then perform at our Scots Verse Celebration on the 1st February.
