    A man’s a man for a' that (S---)

    [ Or a true story that happened on a river patrol last year, read in the style of Tam O' Shanter, with apologies to Rabbie ].

    "An doon the Water o’ Leith I speed,

    Wi ma moontain bike, new helmet oan ma' heid,

    The water lapit aye sae neat,

    A fine day, sae complete.

    Bit noo a twig caught in ma chain,

    I hae tae stop, it is a pain,

    The bloomin chain comes aff,

    Now that is awfae, awfae rough.

    I turn the bike upside doon,

    Tae try an fix the metter soon,

    But much worse is still tae come,

    I smell ma finger it has a hum.

    Aye oan my handlebar is doggie pooh,

    Now that aint whit I want the noo,

    Its on my glove, then on my hand,

    This is not just what I planned.

    So here’s a warning tae ye all,

    When if you cycle or should fall.

    Just watch were you put your mits,

    As you too could end up in the [doggie ] s--ts!"
