In honour of Jimi\'s 10,000th post...
Cam ye o'er frae France? Cam ye doon the Hamble?
Saw wee Jimi lad gaein’ fer a ramble?
Were ye near the boat ca'd the fair Glen Rosa?
Saw ye Jimi lad haein a wee doze?
Jimi, he's a man, there is little doot o't;
He's done a' he can, wha can dae wi’oot it?
Doon there came a yacht, yellin’ “gie us water”'
”Ha!” said Jimi lad, shoutin’ “Nae quarter!”
Though the rudder were bad, blythly he did niffer;
Gaein’ roond and roond, it makes little differ.
Fray Bentos are his pies, he’s mony a wee tinnie
Nae bannets will ye see, like that worn by Jimi
Hey for bold Claymore! Hey for Para Handy!
Hey for Jimi lad, drinkin’ doon their shandy!
Mony a post they’ve made, awfie hard fae readin’;
Fer us Sassenachs, it’s Babelfish we’re needin’
(with apologies to the Jacobite rebels...)
