Well played, sir!
I would add:
O Lord, since we have feasted thus,
Which we so little merit,
Let Meg now take away the flesh,
And Jock bring in the spirit!

Not to mention that The Sekirk Grace states: "We hae meat". 
I think most true Burnsians would love to have only Haggis for an entree, but in my opinion, it's better to introduce folks to Burns's works.
