tae this auld surfer yer nae uise
nae langer bidin in this hoose
yer oot the morn
a fire new wan wi braw bricht licht
wull weel perform
the pictir shufts baith up n’ doon
wi’ wee bit click it birls aroon
sae guid tae yaise tis far abune
yer shaky dreels
it maks fir wark sae easy noo
richt guid it feels
auch puir wee moosie dinnae fash
tae fling ye oot wid be fell rash
ah’l keep ye yit an’ lay ye past
freenships prevail
apairt frae that ye cost a lot
yer up fir sale!!!!!
