Identity Crisis!!

by Zabadak   Oct 13, 2014


Ah've got somethin' tae say an' it matters a lot,
Ah'm desperate tae tell ye that ah'm a true Scot,
The funny thing is that ah can't tell ye why,
Ah'm so proud of ma race an' the flag that we fly.

'Cos back in the past we fought wi' oorsel's,
An' clans killed each other so history tells,
We were conquered by English, the shame o' it a',
An' we canna win anythin' playin' fitba'.

So whaur is the pride that I proudly proclaim,
It's wi' Wallace and Bruce and the thoosands who came,
Tae win back oor country an' win back oor pride,
An' bring freedom and dignity back tae oor side!

    I love this poem!!!

    It is such a simple, yet funny poem, and I do wonder if anyone else on this site will be able to read this if they aren't up to date with Scottish slang words!!

    You do not see poetry written in slang very often these days, and when it is done well, it is so fun and enjoyable to read!

    The poem has a good rhythm to it, and it flows really well from the start to end.

    I also like your title for the poem, again, it implies a bit of a humorous approach to the poem.

    I really do love this, I think it should be published on merchandise and sold in the Scotland Tourist Shop... Lol!

    Well done!
