Steepies for the barnie <br />Sae moolie in the mou': <br />Parritch for a strappan lad <br />To mak his beard grow. <br /> <br />Stovies for a muckle-man <br />To keep him stout and hale: <br />A noggin for the auld carl <br />To gar him sleep weel. <br /> <br />Bless the meat, and bless the drink, <br />And the hand that steers the pat: <br />And be guid to beggar-bodies <br />Whan they come to your yett.<br /><br />William Soutar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/supper-3/
