A toast to the Lassies

Given among a dear and intimate group of friends, 25 January 2025.

On behalf of my fellow gentlemen!

’Tis splendid to be here, with all our treasured lassies.
‘Cos you know that we love you, just masses an’ masses.

Aye, our lassies;

With the softest of bosoms but the toughest of souls
As the inky calm sea hiding turbulent shoals.

Aye, our lassies;

With the kindest demeanours and sharpest of minds
That in all Scotland’s lush mountains and hills we could find!

Now;

The tale of lads an’ lasses is a tale of two cities
Us with our neeps; an’ yous with your tatties.

But as us laddies know, there’s no finer gender;
As tonight, here with Rabbie, we have cause to remember…

Our hearts you have reached with a touch fierce but tender
So, a toast: To our lassies; in all your fine splendour!
