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.

Obrigado Portugal
An ode to our friends and European neighbours Portugal. Not for any particular reason, you understand. Just because they are great.
Nellie Furtado
Sardines and fado
Carmen Miranda
An Algarve veranda
Phil, Luis and Jose
A nice Mateus Rose
Magellan and Vasco
Christiano Ronaldo
Sam Mendes and Pessoa
Three penalties out of four
Now even Presbyterians
Are loving the Iberians
It’s such a grand locale
Oh obrigado Portugal
