Catching your haggis
Catching your haggis
A timorous beast is the haggis
Scottish and hairless and round
Living outside of our cities
Underneath rocks they are found.
To catch one, you lure them with toasties
I find cheese and pickle the best
Or a nice Sunday lunch, done with roasties
That smell will tempt most from their nest.
Alternatively, if you are able
Sneak up and catch one, while it sleeps
Once cooked, should be piped to the table
And served up with tatties and neeps.
Haggis: A Scottish dish, traditionally served
with potatoes (tatties) and turnips (neeps).
Ceremoniously carried to the table on
Burn's Night accompanied by bagpipes.

Boff! And a cultural revelation at once. Great read, bit of chuckle (under a rock!) and damned near musical.
