Short Introduction
Kennin'

Fan thon skelps

Till yer een are blin'd an' yer harns are
seek, [
eyes .... blinded .... brains ..... sick]
Weesh it wis i'
English leid, [

Bladderskitin' blethers syne aye gies
ootlin fowks a fell sair heid.
[ strangers ....
dangerous migrain]
Bladderskitin' is ma wykeness.
Bladderskitin's i' ma hert.

Maks nae ony odds fit I'm spikin',
[ makes no difference ...... saying]
Ainly kin' o' wirds I kyte,
[Only kind of words I can stomach]
Are i' doric leid thit I maun eese,

Fan I bladderskite.
Bladderskitin's muckle gabbin'.
[a great deal of prattling]
Bladderskitin's sich a reese.

Fan the day is deen I'm yockin',

Fer morn's tarraneese.
[ teasing]
Maks nae ony odds fit I'm
spikin',
Ainly kin' o' wirds I kyte,
Are i' doric leid thit I maun eese,
Fan I bladderskite. |
