- Ye say Ah'm bad at poyums
- Cos Ah ayeweys make them rhyme,
- Ah've mony ither talents
- That Ah cannae dae sae fine:
- Ah'm rubbish at the dancin;
- An Ah'm nasal when Ah speak;
- Ah'm no that guid at hygiene;
- An mah table manners reek;
- Ah'm bad at drivin motors;
- An Ah cannae chinge a wheel;
- An Mrs Semple telt me
- That Ah'm shite in bed as weel.
- So dinnae just dismiss me,
- Cos my poyums urnae braw.
- Ah'm no juist bad at rhyme,
- Ah'm bad at ither hings an aw.____
