The Brig o Banff

Ms W de Rusett(group co-ordinator) and the Doocot View Friday Afternoon poetry group

Dibble-dabble Deveron,
Bubblin tae the sea.
Aal briggie bridge,
A midgie bridge in simmer.

Sieven-holey briggie,
Babblin tae the sea.

I went for a dyanner doon Deveron's banks.
I met a loonie playin pranks.
Loons were chuckin stanes at djooks.
Fowk were gie-in em funny looks.

Ane fell in an swam for his life.
A bit o a wreck stuck oot like a knife.
He grabbit a haud o the sunken boat.
He's taen it for a shark afloat.

Parky, narky, sharky sea,
An glaiket loonies on the spree.

Fool an clarty he gaed hame,
An wis pit til his bed by a crabby aal dame.

Dibble-dabble Deveron
Wis rinnin through his min(d),
An the aal briggie and the shark that wisnae.
An he whispered til himsel,
As he dozed aff,
''I winna ging there again, nae wey,
I winna ging there again!"
