| THE SAIR FINGIR by Walter Wingate You’ve hurt your fingir? Puir wee man! Your pinkie? Deary me! Noo, juist you haud it that wey till I get my specs and see! My, so it is – and there’s the skelf! Noo, dinna greet nae mair. See there – my needle’s gotten it oot! I’m sure that wasna sair? And noo, tae make it hale the morn, Put on a wee bit saw, And tie a bonnie hankie roun it Noo, there na – rin awaw! Your fingir’s sair an aw? Ye rogue, You’re only lettin’ on. Weel, weel, then – see noo, there ye are, Row’d up the same as John! |
