We were desperate to head to
Edinburgh to see the Book-Birds being set free, but were thwarted by all the
buses fae Aiberdeen being full. Much weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth
ensued... but then we saw the film of the chaos in the Book Tent...!
Wirds
Fa’d hae jeloused
that a flicht o birds
Cud cause a stooshie like
breengin herds?
A bird in a cage,
drives ten tae a buik
Tae hunt doon quotes
in a librar’s neuk
Ye’d hae thocht it
wis Elvis, raised frae the deid
In Embro, tae see the
fowk stampede!
Some war delichtit an
ithers, wae
Nae aabody won a bird
thon day
Paper frae buiks, or
paper birds
The nub o the maitter
is wirds wirds WIRDS
