Subject: Robert Burns

Anyone know if this is part of a larger poem, or just a short verse that stands alone. He reputedly commented thus after a trip to the Kirk of Lamington where he thought the preacher was a dry man with little humour.

As cauld a wind as e'er blew,
As cauld a kirk, and innit but few;
As cauld a preacher that ever spak,
Ye'se a be het ere I come back.

Not much of a haiku man, was he?

Not sure he'd even heard of Japan, though I'm sure he'd have liked their schoolgirls. :)

Incidentally, I've just volunteered you as a mentor to ken in another thread. No need to thank me. :)

I've seen, and ignored, that. Ta.
