    A tribute to Ewan McTeagle...Scotland's Forgotten Poet

    If you could see your way to lending me sixpence.
    I could at least buy a newspaper.
    That's not much to ask anyone.



    To Ma Own beloved Lassie.
    A poem on her 17th Birthday.
    Lend us a couple of bob till Thursday.
    I'm absolutely skint.
    But I'm expecting a postal order
    and I can pay you back as soon as it comes.
    Love Ewan



    Can I have fifty pounds to mend the shed?
    I'm right on my uppers.
    I can pay you back
    When this postal order comes from Australia.
    Honestly.
    Hope the bladder trouble's geting better.
    Love, Ewan



    Oh gie me a shillin' for some fags
    and I'll pay yer back on Thursday,
    but if you wait till Saturday
    I'm expecting a divvy from the Harpenden Building Society

    Also a philosopher :

    What's 20 quid to the bloody Midland Bank?
    Why the avatar? Well anyone accused of plotting against Gordon Brown can't be all bad.
