William Wallace-1305

Fit like? Foos yer doos?	How are you.  How are you getting along?
Dee yer av the news?		Have you heard the news?
Aye ! Woppin aint it?		Huge, isn’t it.
Pitched a fit !
They sai e larst is ed
a noo, dun’t mik foon o the dead
Quartered to the Auxters	armpits
‘ung as a tallyboggler		hanged as a scarecrow
dee ye ken?		Do you understand
Bloody houghin		revolting, vomit inducing
Aye, the crown is on a shooglie	the King’s position is wobbley
‘is erse is oot the windae	he wont get far acting like that

'Though I'm not Scottish nor a descendant of Scots, I admire William Wallace for his honesty, bravery, devotion and all the good qualities he had..He died because he had a "child-like" trust.. No matter, he's where he belongs for eternity. Good luck in the contest, Charles.. Love, Audrey
