Sonnet 103

A tributary of the Firth of Forth...

(If I was McGonagall* Scottish pride

Would digress how bankers fear small net worth

Of Scots' independence and more besides

That weak McDairmid** heirs  forbear bear to write,

How Jock establishment sports Anglo face -

We're just a wee wee nation, well  not quite,

What we could be should be that's our disgrace.

The God men remind us we'll have to mend

Yes/No divides post Brits-did- us -well,

19 September rUK  may tend

To say Shut It - you've had your Show and Tell.

Walter Scott found the fence where Jock should sit,

 Better Together runs  the length of it)...


*William McGonagall 1825 - 1902
