Tonight is Burns night, so in honour of Scotland\'s national bard, here\'s an example of his work.
Cock Up Your Beaver
When first my brave Johnie lad came to this town,
He had a blue bonnet that wanted the crown;
But now he has gotten a hat and a feather,
Hey, brave Johnie lad, cock up your beaver!
Cock up your beaver, and cock it fu\' sprush,
We\'ll over the border, and gie them a brush;
There\'s somebody there we\'ll teach better behaviour,
Hey, brave Johnie lad, cock up your beaver
