THERE IS KNOWLEDGE I NEED TO KNOW # 12

 

There is knowledge I need to know

And I really need to know it soon

Such as how the pipers can tell

When their bagpipes are out of tune

THE FEAST DAY OF SAINT ANDREW

 

The feast day of Saint Andrew

Is Scotland’s National Day

When the Scottish people

Celebrate Saint Andrew's Day

ARE YOU WEARING A THISTLE?

 

Are you wearing a thistle?

Scotland’s floral emblem

A prickly little symbol

Displayed out of patriotism

IS THERE ANYTHING WORN UNDER THE KILT?

 

Is there anything worn under the kilt?

An old lady asked Mr Lauder?

“No Madam there is not” he replied

“Everything is in perfect working order”

CELEBRATING BLACK FRIDAY

 

I can say that this year I will be

Celebrating Black Friday

By completely ignoring it

Which is in my traditional way

THERE IS ONLY ONE THING THAT FLIES FASTER

 

There is only one thing that flies faster

Than stock off the shelves on Black Friday

And that is the endless flash of white

Of till receipt as the customers pay

I THINK BLACK FRIDAY

 

I think Black Friday

Is an appropriate name

It’s not a happy event

It’s like the Hunger Games
