Extemporaneous Effusion

________________________________________________
Title:     Extemporaneous Effusion
Author: Robert Burns [More Titles by Burns]

On being appointed to an Excise division.

Searching auld wives' barrels,
Ochon the day!
That clarty barm should stain my laurels:
But--what'll ye say?
These movin' things ca'd wives an' weans,
Wad move the very hearts o' stanes!







[The end]
