After Robbie Burns Poem by Douglas Scotney
After Robbie Burns
A baudrons is a cat.
The sharp-pointed stick
used to keep porridge from sticking
to where the side and base of a saucepan meet
(who knows a word for that?)
is known as a spurtle in Scotland.
For the homely connect,
a sword is called a spurtle too.
A brauckie-bird is a bat.
Brose is porridge.
If you butter my brose
you turn me on.
Who knows what added cinnamon does?
This is as far as it goes.
