Poems of Oskar Douglas
A Joiner Ridiculed


Ah thought ad pen this quick wee ryme
Aboot oor meet at breakfast time
Ye sat there wi’ yer toil an strife
An talked aboot yer working life
An a’ the places ye had been
An a’ the sichts that ye hid seen
Cyprus, Thailand and lands like these
And don’t forget the Antipodes

Ye sat there mon an ye slagged me rotten
An’ said ma name wid be hard forgotten
Well let me tell ye that is fine
Co’s when ye’ve shooders broad as mine
Ye let the smart yins tak their whack
An it disnae hurt ma big broad back
Ye thocht it’d hurt me tae the core
But man a’ve heard it a’ before

We’re both part of a great proud nation
Enjoyin oor wee bit “Greek” vacation
So - as Wee Rabbie said the clever swine
Gie’s yer haun – Here’s yin o’ mine
