Unofficial #Scotstober Today's word is BAFFIES I'm going to be posting mockups of a Scots Word Family List, here BAFFIES is approximately the 3,000th most common word family. It is only used in a noun form, mostly in the plural sense. About as common as the English words CHARITY or CHEMICAL

Here an auld poyum o mines A writ a puckle year syne. A votit Aye on 18 Sept 2014, A'd vote Aye the day, an A'll vote Aye at the neist yin. Tap O The "Tae Dae" List by Albert Kirk Jr

First half of the poem TAP O THE TAE DAE LIST by Albert Kirk Jr. The second half is in the next image.

Afore ye gang tae bed at nicht
Content tae thole a deein licht,
Tae gie yersel a mornin bricht
Ye first maun cowp the Union.

Tae tak a braith o caller air
An mak it feel like wizzen fair,
Tae redd yersel o trauchles sair
Ye first maun cowp the Union.

Tae deek a bodie in the ee
Whan owerleukin historie,
Tae awn the lippent guilty plea
Ye first maun cowp the Union.

For Scots tae forder on wur ain,
The Welsh tae find thir vyces fain,
For England tae feel prood agane,
We hae tae cowp the Union.
