A Glasgow Poem

Slaggy Senga fell in love
She planned tae marry Joe
She wis so happy aboot it
She telt her faither so

Faither telt her 'Senga, doll
You'll huv tae find another
I'd just as soon as yer Maw don't know
But Joe is yer half brither

So Senga put aside her Joe
And planned tae marry Wull
But efter telling Faither this
He said 'there's trouble still'

'Ye cannae marry Wull, ma doll
And please don't tell yer mither
But Wull and Joe - and several merr
I know is yer half brither

But Mither knew and said 'Ma doll
Just dae whit makes ye happy
Marry Wull or marry Joe
Cos yer Faither's no yer Pappy...'


Brings a tear to a glass eye, doesn't it...?

Brilliant, I've never read/heard that poem before. Also, about the forth railway bridge photo, after seeing that I dont think I'll use the train which heads that direction for a while, not until the bridge stops leaning like that anyway.

Tsk! A poem like that is likely to be nicked and passed on by some.
