Over the last couple of weeks we have been studying some of the work of Robert Burns.  After reading his poem, ‘Address To A Haggis’, we made an attempt at our own versions – can you spot the similes and alliteration?

Oh Haggis you taste so good,

No matter where you are, I have a look,

After I eat you I feel so full,

A righteous rift errupts, so cruel!

 

You melt in my mouth ever so quickly,

Warm and oaty, cut so thickly,

You’ll always make my taste buds cripple,

And you make my tongue crimple!

 

Haggis, haggis, you taste so good,

You’ll always be my best food,

Heavenly haggis with the touch of glory,

Made from the guts that look so gory!

 

You’re very very smooth,

And you don’t even move,

You make me so hungry, I don’t know how,

Gie me a haggis, right now!

 

(By Cole, P7)

 

Oh, heavenly haggis,

How ye bulge like a bicep,

Sitting perfectly on the platter,

You truly are shaped like a piece of heaven.

 

Oh, when yer rapidly ripped open,

I can see your fluffy insides fall oot,

Then I put ye in ma mouth,

And, oh, ye taste just great!

 

You’re so soft and tender,

And why you’re put down by others,

I truly don’t know,

As you’re truly scrumptious to me!

 

After I’ve eaten ye,

I have a hearty haggis burp,

And think how gid ye were,

When I was eating ye up!

 

(By Amy, P7)
