I love your post, Mr Almaz! Recognise your sharp mind there.
I like this short poem of his
A Red, Red Rose Robert Burns O, my Luve ´s like a red, red rose, That ´s newly sprung in June. O, my Luve ´s like a melodie That ´s sweetly play ´d in tune.
or that other one:
Address to a Haggis Robert Burns Fair fa ´ your honest, sonsie face, Great chieftain o ´ the puddin-race! Aboon them a ´ ye tak your place, Painch, tripe, or thairm:
Happy birthday Mr Burns. Welcome to this great community.

Or "To a Mouse," the seventh verse, contains some of the truest words in the language:
But Mousie, thou are no thy-lane, In proving foresight may be vain: The best laid schemes o ´ Mice an ´ Men, Gang aft agley, An ´ lea ´e us nought but grief an ´ pain, For promis ´d joy! |
