A simple brief
thought on Scottish
Independance.

Were the outdated
union not of some very
high value to England and
the English, why would
they fight so to try to
keep it?

There are only so many
slices to a pie, for one to
have more, another must
have less.

Lastly - to those Scottish
"Loyalists" - to whom are
you loyal?
Scots royalty died in the
1700's so it can be no
Scots crown - And
certainly not it appears to
those who came before,
that bled for Scotland
and her freedom !  
In the words
of Burns, as he
wrote from the heart.

Scots, wha hae wi' Wallace bled,
Scots, wham Bruce has aften led,
Welcome to your gory bed,
Or to victorie.

Now's the day, and now's the hour;
See the front o' battle lour;
See approach proud Edward's power,
Chains and slaverie.

Wha would be a traitor-knave?
Wha can fill a coward's grave?
Wha sae base as be a Slave?
Let him turn and flie:

Wha for Scotland's king and law,
Freedom's sword will strongly draw,
Free-man stand, or free-man fa',
Let him follow me.

By Oppression's woes and pains!
By your Sons in servile chains!
We will drain our dearest veins,
But they shall be free!

Lay the proud Usurpers low!
Tyrants fall in every foe!
Liberty's in every blow!
Let us Do - or Die!!
!

Choose your destiny.

But you don't need a dog
Sweetheart, you don't need a dog
Bark, bark, you don't need a dog
You've got me

You might need the pills, you might need the thrills
The tomato plants on your windae sills
You might need to pay the telephone bills
You might need to climb the mountains and hills
You might need to choose between the devil and the
deep blue sea

You might need to scream, you might need to dream
You might feel like a cog inside a machine
You might fill your lungs with nicotine
Or you might need those jars of beauty cream
You might need to climb to the very top of the tree

I'm getting used to dog's abuse
My bark is worse than my bite
I'm learning to beg, I'm lifting my leg
I'm wagging my tail with delight
Every time you come into sight

You might need a cat to live in your flat
To keep doon the mice and things like that
Or what aboot a desert rat
Or maybe even a vampire bat
You might even want your very own chimpanzee

Wouf, wouf!
