Address to a Woodlousey

A Poem in Scots.
***
Yer a wee humble hing
whae moves wi oot clatter or ding
But aye yer praises
ah'll sing
wee woodlousey.
 
Ah'm sae sorry ma wee freend
thit ah washed ye awa
an wis sae careless tae hae deemed
ye no weilcome in ma company.
 
Yer wee bittie shawn awareness
an easy  kin be seen in ye
Darwin's process.
Aye, yer jist trauchlan alang like me.
 
Confusion an urgency pushes us forrid
tae try tae make guid o oor blessin's
an tak the best oot fae whits horrid.
 
Ah Jyne in the circle o life,
Tis sympathy whit pulls us thegither
and we're aye destined tae be divided, when oor herts caldrife.
 
In that auld phrase
"We're aw Jock tamsons bairns"
biggit fae the same stuff, sin the earliest days.
 
We shuidnae be hateful ,fou ae spite
insteid we shuid honour oor unity  
an try tae dae whits right.
