Re. this:
Wee, sleekit, cowrin’, tim’rous beastie
Seranadin’ the customer’s feastie
Thou need not run away down Murray
with sporan trailing
I’ve not a restaurant owner’s fury
and aesthetic failing
I’m truly sorry Byward merchants
think you deter tourists’ purchase
and chase away their business perchance
down to the Glebe
That bagpipe-hating Beavertail vendor
is such a dweeb
I have not doubt your drones and chanter
Interrupt the sales clerk’s banter
But so too does the endless pealing
Of Parliament’s bell
(And when it’s shrooms and drugs they’re dealing,
It’s just as well)
