She’d look aboot like a highland coo.

    The bonny pony fae near Glasgee
    Aye, she kannae take much mare.
    If she dinnae pluck her auld eye broos
    She’d look aboot like a highland coo.

      thank you for taking time to share the proper dialectical expression, but this is CO, and we pretty much will go for a good 4-line rhyme over properness..

  2. Aye, laddie; Ai dinna unnerstand the wee ditty!!!! :roll:

    • Fird Birfle says:

      But it’s surely, dialogue from Scottie/ ST !!! As soon as evahr
      ya hear “she cannae take na’ moahr….”

    • Jessy says:

      Aye, lassie; I unnerstand all the wee ditty except the last word . . . Highland coo?

      If take much moo= take much more; then Highland coo= Highland core? Nay . . . and I have a bit o’ Scots blood runnin’ through me veins, too . . . not tae be confuse with Scotch blood, which I may have had a time or tae, also, in me younger days.

    But, where are his knees?!

    • Fird Birfle says:

      (please consider this as a corollary to the dialogue from the 1920s novel and 1940s film Treasure/ Sierra Madre… approximately “badges??? We don’ need no stinkin’ BADGES….”; which an article in Wikip. states, is inaccurate in re. the original novel)

      ” ‘KNEES’ “????? WE don’ need no stinkin’ KNEES!!!!111!!!!”
