Whilst staying in Stromness Richard Wallace from Canada attended a Burns Supper.
The Piping Of The Haggis
It was ‘the piping of the haggis’
and all were gathered there.
For a special guest of honor
there sat a vacant chair.
A chair where no one other
could bring such grace and charm
for the love of bonny Scotland
and spin a fancy yarn.
Celebrate this moment
to Robert Burns and life;
a Scottish lad, so very loved,
now bring the haggis knife!
Sing a song for Scotland;
perhaps a peedie prayer,
when ‘piping in the haggis’
leave a vacant chair.
Ed’s note: my father always left a vacant chair at our family Christmas Dinner ‘for the uninvited guest’.
