Oor Wullie: Ae Fond Tribute

Here is a poem I wrote in honour of the wee lad on his bucket, as part of the CD-ROM of poetry and prose with my writers' group, Hilltown Writers, of Dundee.

Oor Wullie: Ae Fond Tribute

The braw young lad oan his bucket
Wis ne’er feart o’ a wee stushie
Wi’ Fat Bob, Soapy Soutar aun Wee Eck;
Tackety boots raisin’ sparks on the grund
Wi’ PC Murdoch as nemesis
Aun Ma aun Pa tae set him richt.
Wullie kent richt frae wrang
But oor hero kent hoo tae entertain
Us wi’ his cheeky grin aun gallus wyes.
