Lament For A Lost Dinner Ticket

ma dinner ticket

ma dinner ticket

See ma mammy
See ma dinner ticket
A pitituma
Pokit an she pititiny
Washnmachine

See thou burnty
Up wherra firewiz

Ma mammy says Am no tellnyagain
No'y playnit

The wummin sed Aver near
Clapsd
Jistur heednur
Wee wellies sticknoot

They sed Wot heppind?
Nme'nma belly
Na bedna hospital
A sed A pititnma
Pokit an she pititny
Washnmachine

They sed Ees thees chaild ebslootly
Non verbal?
A sed MA BUMSAIR
Nwen'y sleep

(as spoken by Adam McNaughtan)

ma dinner ticket
by: Alan Gilmour

Learned this piece of poetry around 20 years ago at primary school. Now I'm trying to explain it to my own kids, the full poem never left me and always brings a wee smile.

I learned it from a book called 'Noise and smokey Breath', it took me ages to work out what Nabigwoffldoon meant!
