Happy Burns day!

My favourite quote about Burns, “an hour with him in the dark was worth a lifetime of light with any other body.”

Something for us mere mortals to aspire to. ??

O my Love is like a red, red rose

That’s newly sprung in June;

O my Love is like the melody

That’s sweetly played in tune.

So fair art thou, my bonnie lass,

So deep in love am I;

And I will love thee still, my dear,

Till a’ the seas gang dry.

Till a’ the seas gang dry, my dear,

And the rocks melt wi’ the sun;

I will love thee still, my dear,

While the sands o’ life shall run.

And fare thee weel, my only love!

And fare thee weel awhile!

And I will come again, my love,

Though it were ten thousand mile.

A lie that is half-truth is the darkest of all lies.

But to see her was to love her,

Love but her, and love forever.

Had we never lou'd sae kindly,

Had we never lou'd sae blindly,

Never met - or never parted -

We had ne'er been broken hearted

"Burns would have fitted into Fab live no doubt. Serial womaniser fathered 13 kids. "

I was thinking this, and also, what would he have made of Social Media. How many followers would he have.

I think he would have got on pretty well. He could have made loads of shagging poems
