...Nae, Waur Than Less Than Guid



Whatever games that Robbie played
they probably never included a ball,
for in the glossary of words in his poems
there's no mention of 'hail' at all.
That's 'hail' that is 'goal' and 'score'.

He might have had a chop at a country fair,
as I see that 'spails' is there.
'Spails' is 'chips of wood'.
The glossary doesn't say which poem it's in
or which page it's on.
For that, the glossary is less than guid...
