Thousands of people in the UK
Will be celebrating the life of Robert Burns
The celebrated poet of Scotland
Reading his poems in turns
Robert Burns born into a farming family
In Alloway, Ayrshire in 1759
He died at the age of 37years
On this earth for a very short time
Yet in that very short time
He took the Scottish literary by storm
Secured a place in history as a legend
From the day he was born
So as Burns night approaches
Let all celebrate his plight
By reading his wonderful work
Remembering his poetry on Burns Night
