1st March

Covid rules in classrooms ease

Nae need tae wear a mask,

If ye want tae ken

Whae’s broken wind,

Ye’ll nae longer hae tae ask.

Auld Reekie loses a conductor

Tis a mercy for the trams

Nae need tae pay the person

Walking roond wie ootstretched arms

Except in the Shetland Islands year

There’ll be conductors on yon rockets,

Hae nae fear.

But nane in the Smoke

Oan Tuesday’s Underground

An that’s nae joke.

AddNibs weather WARNING

The day will be sunny an bright

Fae mornin through tae night

But beware the Ides o March

February was bad enough!

28th February

Nae need tae leap oot o bed

Fir it’s no a leap year they said

Disnae mak muckle sense –

Tae me an mine,

In a leap year Feb has twenty-nine

Then that wuman found an account

Had grown tae a rather large amount

Urges us aw tae search the hoose

In case we’ve got a forgotten stash

Some paperwork tae turn intae cash

Chance wid be a fine thing!

Mair actors receiving accolades

This time for brilliance and resilience

Must be a poet in yon judges’ midst

Either that or they were…

Brahms and Liszt

And now fir AddNibs weather WARNING

The day is much tae be desired,

But the morn sees the orb well-fired

Like the rolls wie Sunday’s fayre

(Enough tae mak a meteorologist glad)

That he’s retired,

Nearly.

27th February

A’m pleased tae report fae the deluge,

Scots will gie Ukrainians refuge.

But the French will no be seen,

Beatin the lads thirty-six tae seventeen.

But there’s always good news

Oan the back o the bad news

An the good news?

There’s nae news.

Well no worth writin about anywie…

Oh except four thoosand wigs hae been taen fae the back o a lorry jist aff the A1…

Police are still combing the area.🕵️‍♂️

And now AddNibs weather WARNING

Nae rain, nae wind, an wa tae wa sun

Time tae put aff yer tellies,

Cause come Monday,

Yer gonnae need yer wellies!

26th February

That poor MP needed an extra bob,

Nae wrong doing in an extra job,

Four thoosand trainers

Fae the back o a lorry?

The perpetrators will be sorry,

If they can catch them.

Sir Alex gracing Pittodrie Park

Sparkling like granite after dark

An Jekyll an Hyde’s in Leith

Ye’ll hear the rattlin o Leithers’ teeth,

An no just wie the cauld

Or loose wallies gettin auld.

And now for the weather WARNING

It will be sunny and bright at Murrayfield

Till the final whistle.😱

25th February

Putin on the agony

Putin on the style

NHS in Glasgow go that extra mile,

A ward for its leadership,

A ward for its team,

Nowt in oor world

Is quite whit it seems –

Dumfries as a city?

Announced in a ditti

Oan the auld piana,

“It must be right, its justified”,

Its spoken by Joanna.

And now for the weather WARNING

Absolutely fabulous!

24th February

Doric in a spin, a whirling pirouette,

A three percent rise in Cooncil Tax

Is aw they’re gonnae get.

An nae mair freebies tae Swan Lake

For oil executives on the make.

Excuse me if ye think A’m wrong,

A believe A’m hearing Sunset Song.

23rd February

T’was only just the ither day

A thoucht A heard oor Premier say,

“Ye can cast yer masks asunder,👩‍🎓

But ye’d better don yer helmets,

Cause there’s gonnae be some thunder.”⛑

22nd February

On the Border looking out,

Beyond that broken fence and budding tree,

I see a tank, a man, a gun;

My instinct telling me to run.

Feel so overwhelmingly alone,

Now overhead I hear the drone.

21st February

The nights that fair drew in,

Never quite drew oot.

Yon wind that never ceases,

Left the snowdrop floers in pieces.

Today I heard that phrase, “Spring is just around the corner.”

Well hurry up, wud ye!

Reminds me of the begining of Justified Sinner, except that was March 2015 and this is February 2022. Wind battering the sash and pane and cauld enough to take the balls of a brass monkey.

In fact this weather goes beyond good and evil.

Think I’ll just snuggle up with a good book.
