The Spider’s Legend of Robert The Bruce Hugh McMillan
Ah got scunnert tryin tae spin
a web for denner,
the stane wis a slaisterie,
ah couldnae get a grip,
ah wis hauf stairved by the end,
no even a midge tae claught,
then a big lug o a mon cam in,
raggety, right dosser,
mair hungert looking than me,
stairted eying me up,
ah thought, am off,
swung like a tarzan
oot the cave on a thread
thick as a wean’s wrist.
Seemed tae cheer him up.
