Download or read book Haggis Rules written by Ian Craig Murray Myers and published by . This book was released on 2017-11-24 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Sun Never Sets On The Scots", nor on the Immortal Works of Robert Burns. These original poems pay unique tribute to Mither Scotland, her Bairns and her National Bard. They also salute, and occasionally tease the countless Burnsophiles who celebrate his Life and his Birthday every year, all over the World.Written to entertain those of his ilk at home and abroad, this Scottish author offers a hilarious and frequently thought-provoking collection of poetry in Scottish dialect. These comical yet insightful verses cover subjects and characters cherished by the Scottish diaspora who revere Robert Burns, the man and his natural genius. The title reflects the dominant, albeit tasteful reign of "The Chieftain o' The Puddin-Race" as the traditional formalities of these "Burns Night" celebrations get under way. With absolutely no intention of competing with the genius of Scotland's National Bard, this collection is intended to provide additional fun after all the traditions are observed. Although written in various poetic forms, and some are somewhat unorthodox, they are relatively easy to read or recite. This is achieved by the mix of Broad Scots, Glaswegian and Standard English wording, together with the consistent rhythmic flow and conversational style employed.The author expresses sincere hopes that his readers will derive as much pleasure from "Haggis Rules!" as he has from Rabbie's songs and poems over the years. Illustrating these hilarious verses are the wickedly appropriate cartoons by Scott Relth.
