Stevenson's poem. <br /><br />I know this is a totally different poem, but this kind of remind of a poem by Robert Burns: To A Mouse. lol My husband recited it to me once after he told me had to do the same when he was a kid. He did the whole intonation and action thing. It was so glorious.<br /><br />"hauld ma wheescht" or " wheescht yer chops" is a phrase my hubby has been trying to teach me to say. He delights when he hears me say it.lol<br /><br />Once again, truly love the poem.Funkkeejoocehttp://funkkeejooce.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-368213182054291606.post-32283353314188180792010-08-07T02:24:46.536+01:002010-08-07T02:24:46.536+01:00Hey JJ thanks for stopping by and for the kind wor...Hey JJ thanks for stopping by and for the kind words.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13430853841183988603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-368213182054291606.post-21581856491358115882010-08-07T00:53:05.222+01:002010-08-07T00:53:05.222+01:00The Scottish slang absolutely makes this poem Andr...The Scottish slang absolutely makes this poem Andrew!
