15 January
This Ode was handed into the shops last week. Unfortunately I don't know who it was.
AN ODE TAE WEST KILBRIDE
Ah huv tae thank yi West Kilbride
Fur the best night o’ the year.
You folks up there kin shew us a’
How tae spread the Christmas cheer.
Yer Yuletide night wiz such a treat
A great wee, family do.
Yer kindness shewn tae yin an’ a’,
Wis credit tae yi a’
When ah arrived the place wiz buzzin’,
Wi foks a’ stauning’roon.
That it’s self is quite amazin’,
Fur it’s jist a wee sma’ toon.
Everywhere yi laid on treats,
Wi wine an’ real champagne!!!
Ah wish ah hidnae brought ma car
An’ came up on the train.
Ah never felt ah’d overstayed
Ma welcome anywhere.
In every shop yi took the time,
Tae handle us wi’care.
Ah ken that wiz nea easy feat,
So many o’us stood.
An’yin or twa jist tried it on,
An’even wur quite rude.
Ma wee granddaughter hud a ball.
Yi treated her real nice.
Yi made her laugh an’ gave her sweets,
Next time she’ comin’ twice.
The way the world is goin’ the noo.
Wi’ talk aboot recession.
Yur hospitality an’charm
Wur really quite refresin’.
So take a bow wee West Kilbride,
Be proud o’ who yi are,
I’ll be back next year fur sure,
This time without ma car.
