I am now about to abuse my blog for personal ends....!
My wee son Jamie aged 5 just came third in the regional heat here in Largs for the North Ayrshire Burns Poetry competition, and is now through to the county final! He recited a poem entitled Roguey Pogey:
Roguey Poguey Pickety Peel
My sister is a richt wee de'il
She nips ma lugs and rugs ma hair
Scatters ma toys aa owre the flair
She laughs and thinks it is great fun
But then her age is only one!
Next year it'll be wee sleekit mousies and everything! Not quite yer name in lights wee man - but ye made it to the blog! :)
