The Sair Finger

The Sair Finger by Walter Wingate

You've hurt your finger? Puir wee man!
Your pinkie? Deary me!
Noo, juist you haud it that wey till
I get my specs and see!

My, so it is - and there's the skelf!
Noo, dinna greet nae mair.
See there - my needle's gotten't out!
I'm sure that wasna sair?

And noo, to make it hale the morn,
Put on a wee bit saw,
And tie a bonnie hankie roun't-
Noo, there na - rin awa'!

Your finger sair ana'? Ye rogue,
Ye're only letting' on.
Weel, weel, then - see noo, there ye are,
Row'd up the same as John!

This is such a beautiful little poem and brings back some lovely memories from when my sons were young kids. Thank you and your Mum very much for this.
