Did ye see that?
In amang the chefs, the sofas,
Weatherwummn an the fitba
Free-wheelin up yon street
Sharp left it went, slowed doun,
Sneaked in an open windae
Atween the purple curtains.
Bits o bristle there’ll be, babes’ airms,
’Mang sofas, chefs, weatherwummn,
A trousered leg, a heid or two,
Yon fat-bummed yankee doodle
Cruised in their windae, howdy-doo!
Blood and gore the kitchen wa,
A Jackson Pollock it’ll be.
The bus queue laughed at me,
A clip like that’s no real!
Stey cool, it’s just a pictur show,
Nae mair or less than a the rest.
A wawr? Can it really be?
’Mang a the weel-kent faces,
Chefs, sofas and weatherwummn.
