Burns Greeting 2018

The Culture of Encounter

Calls that our culture
Embraces encounters
And sparks connections
With our fellow man

But we put up walls
Close off the borders
Build up the barriers
When in the same boat

And big guns then boast
Mine is the biggest
And breenge to the brink
Through tough-talking Tweets

But Janwar’, our Bard
Hits our red button
And every Burns night
The world does bond

Once toasts have been made
and drams have been drunk
Belt out ‘Auld Lang Syne’
And gie us yer haund

We’re fieres and neebours
The whole world o’er
United in culture
Encountering Burns
