New Year Countdown Poem 2022: 2. A Scottish New Year


Th' scots hae got,
iI a' figured out,
A day o' rest,
To git ower th' drink,
To git rid o' th' hangover,
Of th' nicht afore th' nicht before.
You see,
Us scots,
Celebrate sae hard,
We lose a day outright.
So tak' a leaf,
From th' book we wrote,
Party sae hard,
You hae tae ca' in sick.
Haud Hogmanay,
From yer kilt sportin' mukkers.
