SCOTIA'S PAREITCH BOWL.
Will Scotia waive her parritch bowl, And will her hardy sons of toil, Wi' piteous, nauseating howl, Turn up their nose, In pure disgust and vicious howl, On Scotia's brose ? Will that imported curly matter, That comes sac far across the water, Noo fill my country's gaping happer And reckless fouk, And oust old Scotia's pechan packer, Guid stirabout ? Nae wonner than, oor nebs are blue, Oor stomachs turning like tae spew, And ribs protruding almost through ; In earnest pleading. Against Congou and Foo-cho-f 00, As Scottish feeding. Nae wonner the auld gutcher draws, Tn pity her hard horny paws, A' doon young Scotia's lantern jaws, Sadly regretting, The taste depraved that's been the cause. O sic begetting. — ' Glasgow Mail,' April 14.
