Burns Night and an Ode to Haggis

In honor of Robert Burns night (January 25th), I have decided to post his "Address to a Haggis" or "Ode to Haggis," which is currently being recited over haggis dinners across the world.  Unfortunately I am stuck at work, so I cannot celebrate my Scottish heritage with the rest of my family this evening; however, I will hopefully be attending a traditional "Burns Supper" this weekend.  If I can't do that, then I shall drink a ton of scotch whiskey whilst staring longingly at a picture of a haggis. Here is a link to a website that describes what haggis is (if you haven't tried it, I highly recommend it), who Robert Burns is, the original "Address to a Haggis," and finally, the translated version of the poem for any who may not understand "Scottish."

I think it goes without saying why I find this ode worthy...

<3 always,
Heather
