OK, left it a bit late I know, but it's still Burns Night in Atlanta!
Poems
1. Tam O'Shanter - of course. A Masterpiece. 2. Holy Wullie's Prayer - Sticking it to religious hypocrites everywhere 3. The Twa Dugs - As fine a piece of social commentary as you'll ever read. 4. Death and Doctor Hornbook - especially for the Burnsian curse par excellence - "Deil mak his king's hood in a spleuchan" or "May the devil turn his scotum into a tobacco pouch". 5. The Cotter's Saturday Night - More brilliant social commentary
Songs
1. My love is Like a Red Red Rose - the greatest love song ever written 2. Ae Fond Kiss - the second greatest 3. Sic a Parcel o' Rogues in a Nation - Wha's like us? Wha'd want to be??? 4. John Anderson My Jo - beautiful song about love growing old. My good friend on Hibees Bounce, Frenchman, does a lovely rendition of this. 5. Ye Banks and Braes - Heartbreakingly gorgeous.
