The Fourth Kingdom

“Fair fa’ your honest, sonsie, face Great Chieftain o’ the Puddin-race!” “Address To A Haggis”, Robert Burns, 1786. (Keeper o’er the Fourth Kingdom) Robert, Robert, Fourth Kingdom Gate Keeper. No Telestial glory Befits the poet deeper! Wherefore is thy legacy Robert Burns, regretfully Wherefore is thy Haggis? Thy Puddin’ flees before thee. Thy Hippopotami give birth Purple, purple, such deliver The royal eggplant hatchling That multiplies the giver! Celestial porridge is thy claim As such befits thy story But no resplendent poet name Perpetuates thy glory Terrestial kingdoms blissfully Reject that higher leaven But thou hast won, delectably That Kingdom Fourth of Heaven!
