bilby From 'Gin I Was God' by Charles Murray:
Doric
GIN I was God, sittin' up there abeen,
Weariet nae doot noo a' my darg was deen,
Deaved wi' the harps an' hymns oonendin' ringin',
Tired o' the flockin' angels hairse wi' singin',
To some clood-edge I'd daunder furth an', feth,
Look ower an' watch hoo things were gyaun aneth.
Translation
IF I were God, sitting up there above,
Wearied no doubt, now all my work was done,
Deafened by the harps and hymns unending ringing,
Tired of the flocking angels hoarse with singing,
To some cloud edge I'd saunter forth and, faith,
Look over and watch how things were going beneath. Dec 7, 2007
reesetee You might enjoy dangleberry's doric list, bilby. Hasn't been updated in a while, though. Dec 6, 2007
bilby A lady from Aberdeenshire spoke some Doric to me today. It was charming, hilarious even. I'll have to find a written sample to post here. Dec 6, 2007
reesetee Looks like someone added just that, dangleberry. I see it in the ninja listing now. Jul 18, 2007
