Robert Burns Translation: To a MouseTo a Mouse
by Robert Burns
translation/modernization/interpretation by Michael R. Burch
Sleek, tiny, timorous, cowering beast,
Why’s such panic in your breast?
Why dash away, so quick, so rash,
In a frenzied flash
When I would be loath to run after you

To rap tap the gate of the jail...

When Something Special Happens again, and again, finallyWe said goodbye to August, 2015, and in that year we shared
The day we met, our futures set, in unison we're declared
That Christmas came and went, knowing we'd share it soon
Eight Thousand Miles apart, it...

Archer of the ForestDeep in the forest
Outlaws lie in wait
For well off noblemen
Their monies to take
They steal from the rich
And share with the poor
How long can they hide
In their forest so pure
This band of commoners
Go against...

Scotland
I couldn't give a toss for the caber
cromach bagpipes sporran or kilt
