Rhymes

A  rhyme  is a repetition of similar sounds (usually the exact same phonemes) in the final stressed syllables and any following syllables of two or more words. Most often, this kind of rhyming (perfect rhyming) is consciously used for a musical or aesthetic effect in the final position of lines within poems or songs. More broadly, a rhyme may also variously refer to other types of similar sounds near the ends of two or more words. Furthermore, the word rhyme has come to be sometimes used as a shorthand term for any brief poem, such as a nursery rhyme or Balliol rhyme.

The word derives from Old French: rime or ryme, which might be derived from Old Frankish: rīm, a Germanic term meaning "series", or "sequence" attested in Old English (Old English: rīm meaning "enumeration", series", or "numeral") and Old High German: rīm, ultimately cognate to Old Irish: rím, Ancient Greek: ἀριθμός (arithmos "number"). Alternatively, the Old French words may derive from Latin: rhythmus, from Ancient Greek: ῥυθμός (rhythmos, rhythm).



Well see, ah wis cinna fed up wie writin ma diary doon in plain auld ordinary sentences an paragraphs, so ah thought thit ah wid try somehin different, an no jist cause ah'm an indifferent cinna guy.
 
So in wan ae ma Eureka moments ah thought "Why no make yer daily routine rhyme, en ye cuid sing this shit while ye wir writin it doon"

"Guid idea".. Thought I tae I .."But gaunny dispense wie the singin bit cause it upsets the dug, an the cat's no that chuffed wie yer chantin either!"

So a deal wis struck wie ma heid thit states ah cin sing whitever ah want tae masel, jist as long as it's no belted ootloud.

Onywey, below ah huv compiled some ae ma daily nonsense thit ye cin sing tae yersel if ye want, although ye dinnae huv tae sing it as this isnae a requirement.
 
Note: Ye cin also chant these lyrics tae ony tune thit fits, cause a huv'ny written ony music yit!

No Sae White Net Curtains

Ah luiked up at the net curtains
Thit ur really dazzlin white
At least ah yased tae hink they wir
Tae ah seen thaim in daylight

So ah took thaim doon an washed thaim
That's when a got a fright
The watter in the washin bowl
Wis broon an mair like shite

This warnin fur mesh curtains
Ah gie tae thaim thit might
Hink screen curtains oan ther windaes
Only filter oot the solar light

Ay ,ah hoosehusbands work is never done !
Whit noo ? Make the tea a suppose , en write a sticky note thit reads : Ye really need tae git yersel a new per ae Marigold gloves!


This is the nestin season fur the big burds so thers wan ur two wee frustrations included aboot they feckers in this diary entry!
 
Shitehawks

Ah cleaned aw eh ma windaes
They wir luikin rether nice
Then along flew a big seagull
Whaes aim wis quite precise
So a cleaned aw eh ma windaes
No jist wance an no jist twice
Ah've noo cleaned aw ma windaes 
Three times noo ,that makes thrice

Dae ye hink these fuckers watch an wait ?



Tins

Ah got fur us some processed meat
Thit comes in a big tin
But the tin opener jist buggered up
So the gash remains within

Ah've poked it an ah've stabbed it
Ah've hit it wey a hammer
So wir salad tea planned fur the night
Is only gittin warmer

Whits wrang wey mayo coleslaw ,cheese ,biled egg, an mince anywey ?
Ah suppose .
Well that will be me away doon the street tae source a new tin opener en.
Note tae sel.. Git new Marigold gloves annaw
 

Vegetables

Oh deary oh deary oh me  
Ah forgot tae defrost the nights tea
So wey a cauld watter rinse
Moi melted some mince 
Ther is fresh frozen peas
But whit orrer veg huv we's ?
An this might sound insane
But thers none,that means nane
Luiks like burgers again ,yip yippee!

Oh the benefits eh the healthy Brexit diet eh? 
Wir fruit shoap like many wee local businesses hus noo shut an we huv wan store thit hauds the monopoly oor here, an since Brexit aw they stock is plenty eh absolutely Fuck All



Halloween

Wee whisps ae haar hing in the air
The sun hus disappeart somewher
This eve rememmer you're the host
Tae witches faeries an thee odd ghost

Light the fire, dinnae despair
As spooky hings float through the air
An set wan extra plate at least
So the deid cin jine ye in yer feast

Wee púcas eat much less thin most
They much prefer a slice ae toast
But feed thaim ootside an leave thaim be
Sittin unnerneath ther favourite tree
 

Never ever feed yer resident púcas inside the hoose, trust me oan this wan, jist gaunny no!



Fridges

We goat wirsels a knew fridge
But it hus a squeaky door
We've never hud anorrer fridge
Wey such a squeaky door afore

So a phoned up customer services
Who wie confident insight
Telt us thit wir squeakin door
Wis an issue wey the light

Well ah carried oan conversin
But ma tongue ah hud tae bite
Cause ah wis jist aboot tae tell thaim
Thit they wir spraffin utter shite

So ah popped the wee hinge covers
En ah swapped the washers round
Noo wir fridges squeakin door
Disnae make a sound



Internet

Ah returns wey milk tae an empty hoose
Nae weans, nae dugs, no even a moose
So ah wonner why this cuid possibly be
Jings! Ther internets back oan fae whit ah see

Through messages here an messages ther
An astonished moi cin noo declare
Thank Tim Berners-Lee fur he's furst web site
Peace an harmony is noo a stable green light!

Ah went an bought mair buiscuits tae.
Oh dear, how sad, goody goody, ah wull'ny need tae plank the hings noo! 
Heeeeeucht!



Guy Fawkes

The dug disnae like they fireworks
Neither dis the cat
The night they'll mair thin likely
Shit oan wir new door mat

Guy Fawkes himsel wis Inglis
An accordin tae he's claims
Wis gaunny blow Scotch beggars
Back tae ther heilan hames

But wey a bit ae prodin
John Johnson chainged his tune
As it turns oot noo the big plan wis
Tae blast the Royals tae the moon

So when ye light yer fires
Jist rememmer oan this night
At least some aulder Inglis
Hud a wee bit smert foresight


Autumn

The leaves ur affy aw wir trees
Ah noo see shoapers doon the street
They stoap an huv a blether
Wey the orrer people thit they meet

So ah watch the bus come up the hill
An wonner whaes oan that
It's ma Mrs wey the messages
Amazin..Fancy that !

So ah goes tae meet ma Mrs
Fur a wee haun wey her bag
When up the hill far far away
Ah see this big bomb warnin fleg!

Whit the actual fuck ? The boy in that hoose obviously disnae quite git the fleg hingin bit, maist folk roon aboot here jist hing up Saltires ur fitba flegs!





This is an auld wan fae the furst Lager in the Park days!

We wir headin up the Lang Whang
When it sterted gittin dark
So we stoaped tae ask a poacher
If we wir gaun tae Stathclyde Park

He says continue up the road
An turn aff fur Carluke
But dinnae take the back road
Or ye'll end up in Craigneuk

These roads ah yased tae know by heart
Ever fae ah wis a wean
But since they built they motorways
Back roads jist tax ma brain

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/A70_road


But ma best directions ever wir written doon as:

Turn right when you come to the pub at the crossroads.

About five miles along that road you will come to a puddle, half a mile past the puddle there is a big wheelie bin ,take a right at the wheelie bin and the place is about three miles down the dirt track.

P.S. If you have passed the wheelie bin then you have gone too far and need to turn round because ther is absolutely nothing for 20 miles past the bin.


Know whit? .. Ay, these directions wir spot on!


Beowulf 

This stories wrote in Inglis

It's ae the aulder type

Youse wullny unnerstaun it

An hink it's haverin tripe


But in here ther be monsters

Ana dragon pops up tae

Thers drink an gold an wondrous hings

Well young Beowulf gubs the beasties 

En goes hame tae see his friends 

But en a dragon bites him

That's  wher his story ends

Summer Cold

Ah dragged masel fae oot ma bed

The lights ur oan but the batteries dead

The day ah'm feelin knacked an auld

Luiks like ah've caught a summer cald


Ah'm snifflin oor ma cup ae tea

Ah've done the dishes an they've done me

Mair Shitehawks

The summer brings the shitehawks
They like tae squawk aw day
But noo the days ur longer
The jist squawk aw night long tae

It's guid tae hear thaim screechin
At three o'clock at night
Ah'd like tae grab the basarts
An stuff ther beaks wey ther ain shite

Wher dae they aw come fae, an when dae they actually sleep? 
Wir resident shitehawks dinnae make aw that racket.
Even yer inebriated chanters thit pour oot the boozers of an evenin eventually gie up an go tae ther beds, know whit ah mean?



Padlock

Cause the bags aw leaves an root

But ther is thaim:

Whit breaks the mornins silence

While fleein through the air

Ah wonner whit hus pissed thaim aff
It must be somehin bad indeed
But en again it's mibbes naws
Cause ther aff ther squawkin heids

Ther is nae fishin boats in
Thers nae fires up the wids

Wait tae the festy sterts ya noisy basarts, en ye'll huv somehin tae squawk aboot


Sleep
Ah fell asleep at hauf past five 
An woke up at hauf past four
That wis indeed a long wee doze
Ah wonner if ah snore

An buggered up ma brain

Ah'm pittin oan the kettle noo
Quite early in the day
This voice is askin whits gaun oan
Ah'm makin tea, ah say

Meow..Guid mornin Mrs The Cat
Bark..Guid mornin Mr The Dug
Will Youfuckinshutup says the Higher Authority.
That wull be the hale hoose up en!



Saturday Night During  The Glasgow Fair

The sky wis dark an overcast
Sounds echoed aw aroon
An ther wis tunes an merriment
Comin fae away doon in the toon

The chanters ae an evenin
Went oan tae two o'clock
An efter they aw went tae bed
Oot came the bold shitehawk

Ah thought this din unusual
En ah opened the blind
Aw the windaes wir wide open
Shuttin these, ah didnae mind

So if ye want some quiet
When you lay doon tae sleep
Jist mind an shut yer windaes
En you'll no hear a peep


Spiders

Ah walked intae a spiders web
The silk goat in ma eye
It made me luik jist if ah wis
Really gaun tae cry

So a grabbed a brush an swept it
As it dangled fae oan high
Ther wis nae spiders in ther
So nane ae thaim wir gaunny die

Jingszo! Ther is anorrer wan
Ah must git rid ae thaim
The weans ur comin oor soon
An they've nae spiders back at hame

Wher aw these spiders come fae
Ah huv really nae idea
But tae ma grown up Grandweans
Ther the cause ae mortal fear

They wu'llny go tae sleep at night
Ur lie doon oan a bed
Incase a tiny spider
Dreeps doon upon ther head

Ah wid need tae phone the Doctor
Tae come oot tae the hoose
Fur a spider induced heart attack
Jings,they huv'ny seen the moose
