JIM O SHACHTER
intae the wids amongst the trees Jim bared his erse his cheeks tae ease Nae sooner had his breeks gan doon Than y flees were swarmin roon
Itae the wind he bared his baws And fae his erse a big keek faes The reek it curled amognst the trees Twis enough tae mak the birdies sneeze An a the beast in burn and ditch Got a whiff o something awfy rich
Big jim wis in awfy pain It came out his erse like a nine pun wean there wis a tear faw fae his ee Fur a bigger e you,d never see.
Big jim erse wis raw and sair Says big Jim Ill e nae mair Yonder it lay among the grit A steamin,stinkin muckle
There it lay sae soft sae fresh Nae hair ,nae teeth, nae brains, nae flesh Tae wipe his erse Jim yaised a docken While awe arroon the birds wre boakin
Jim happened it ower wi stanes and stoor Then sauntered off across the moor A wee bit quicker wi bein sae light Efter riddin himself o that muckie e
Noo ive telt ye this tale for a wee bit laughter A tale ye can tell for ever after The tale o Jim o shachter.

Good wan Brad. Some of the 'parodies' are better than the poets' originals. ;D
Once you have 'sussed' out where the board automatic 'blue pencil' censor has done it's work, you can get the flow and rhythm from the work. ;D

Although most people don't associate Rabbie wi bawdy poetry, the reality is somewhat different. "Many scholars and Robert Burns enthusiasts prefer to hide his association with the Merry Muses of Caledonia because they don't like him to be associated with this sort of material. Burns, allegedly made no secret of his interest in erotic verse and bawdy song but apparently he kept this in a locked drawer at home. Well, you would, wouldn't you?
It was first published within three or four years of his death and of the original only two copies are known to exist but it has since been published in facsimile editions. Burns both wrote and collected this material so there is no knowing how much of it is actually his. While some of it is local and clearly from the hand of the bard he may also have collected some of the material during his tours around Scotland. It is also worth mentioning that some of Burns's most admired works were sanitised versions of the bawdy originals."You can read or download The Merry Muses of Caledonia at this address: www.robertburns.org.uk/Assets/Documents/merrymuses.PDF
