XXIII • VII • MCMLX

A poem submitted to the Bremer Forum

 

 

I’m a Rat; I’m a Leo, what a great combination,

The strength of the Lion with Rat innovation,

Makes us invincible without even tryin’

We are modest, brilliant, generous and kind,

But taking us for granted will put you in a bind,

Our memories are long and we enjoy sweet revenge,

We can bide oor wheest fur weeks on end,

Return the compliment when you least expect it,

And then all of a sudden you will look so dejected,

Well we tried to warn you but you just widnae listen,

A face like fizz all screwed up and wizened,

The Rat and the Lion are sitting so smug,

Drinking a single malt from a big bloody jug,

Happy Birthday……Don’t forget it!
