Tam o' Shanter is my favourite, brilliant epic narrative poem with warning that you have to watch out when you go out on the razzle-dazzle.
love the first verse which is more relevant today with any man who gets involved with his friends and heads off to the pub, not caring how he will get home or what like his other half will be when he returns worst off for drink.
' Whare sits our sulky, sullen dame,
Gathering her brows like gathering storm,
Nursing her wrath to keep it warm.'
Awesome, brilliant stuff and its found in almost everyone of his poems.
Sad thing is the Scootish Qualification Authority,the body responsible for education in Scotland have decided in the last few years to exclude Burns from their standard and higher grade certificates in their schools - unbelievable
