This was sent to me by a friend .  It's in Scots so if you can't quite get it all, let me know.  If you're even interested.
It's very good.

Ah, Robbie Burns:

O, my Luve is like a red, red rose, That?s newly sprung in June. O, my Luve is like the melodie, That?s sweetly played in tune.


For many years, on Valentine's Day, my wife and I played a game - we would send each other a verse with words that rhymed with June - but they had to be different each time - we gave up when we reached Dune, Kowloon and the Cameroons.

I suspect Robbie played the same game

Thanks, Paw! I loved it and think I got most of the words right. Leave it to a Scot to give us a much needed spine-stiffening pep-talk. We humans can be incredibly stupid at times, but we don't give up, give in, or roll over! Cheers to all and keep fightin', Bowers
