The Scottish accent never ever fails to get me laughing. . I also find it sexy! Reading a poem recently titled 'Cudddle doon' (by Alexander Anderson). Goes thus: The bairnies cuddle doon at nicht Wi' muckle fash an' din "Oh, try and sleep, ye waukrife rogues; Your father's comin' in." They never heed a word I speak. I try to gie a froon; But aye I hap them up, an' cry, "Oh, bairnies, cuddle doon!" Wee Jamie wi' the curly heid- He aye sleeps next the wa'- Bangs up an' cries, " I want a piece" The rascal starts them a' I rin an' fetch them pieces, drinks- They stop awee the soun' - Then draw the blankets up, an' cry, "Noo, weanies cuddle doon!" 4 more verses of the poem to go and I am still laughing my socks off , and saying to meself ' I cannae really translate tha'! 1 Like
