The McConnell Log
Some smart Alex once said that Scotland will only be free when the last minister of the Kirk is strangled with the last copy of The Sunday Post. Now, thanks to Jack Topaz McConnell, that has all changed. Now they say that Scotland will only be free when the First Minister is strangled. Wee Jack, however, is much more than mere politician. Unknown to many of his countrymen, he is also poet and tragedian. For better and for verse. Much, much verse. Here, in a style owing much to lauded predecessors such as Burns, McGonagall and Dalglish, is the secret poetry of Jack Topaz McConnell.

Parliament prayer
Hen can you understaun me now
Sometimes ah feel a little mad
Don’t you ken that nae First Minister can aye be an angel
Even Donald Dewar now looks kinda bad
Well ah’m just a boy whose designers are good
Oh Lord, please let me build new Holyrood
Hen sometimes ah’m so brilliant
It’s so hard no tae be smug
Other times ah get caught wi ma zipper doon
And then ah don’t wany onyone to see ma ugly mug
Well ah’m just a boy whose designers are good
Oh Lord, please let me build new Holyrood
Sometimes ah feel a little mad
Don’t you ken that nae First Minister can aye be an angel
Even Donald Dewar now looks kinda bad
Well ah’m just a boy whose designers are good
Oh Lord, please let me build new Holyrood
Hen sometimes ah’m so brilliant
It’s so hard no tae be smug
Other times ah get caught wi ma zipper doon
And then ah don’t wany onyone to see ma ugly mug
Well ah’m just a boy whose designers are good
Oh Lord, please let me build new Holyrood
