(Robbie Burns Night in Swift Current. File photo)
Celebrated Scottish poet and lyricist Robbie Burns was born January 25, 1759 and normally around this time of year, Robbie Burns Night Celebrations would be happening in many communities including Swift Current but Covid19 has cancelled this year's celebrations.
What better way to honour the man who was born 262 years ago this day than with a poem:.
Blow your bagpipes and pass the scotch
Remember the man who's poems were top notch
Burns be the name
Poetry be the game
He came from the land of kilts and argyle
Where a monster called nessy is spotted once in awhile
So raise your glass to Robbie
The bonny Burns lad
Now tuck into your haggis
Before it goes bad
