“SHE NODDIT TO ME.”
The following is the poem which recently appeared in the Bon Accord, a weekly comic journal, published in Aberdeen, and attracted the notice of the Queen, and her Majesty wrote expressing a desire to be furnished with the name of the author:— I’m but an auld body Livin up in Deeside, In a twa-room’d bit hoosie Wi’ a toofa’ beside. Wi’ my coo and my grumphy I’m as happy’s a bee, But I’m far prooder noo Since she noddit to me ! I’m nae sa far past wi’it— I’m gie trig and hail, Can plant twa-three tawties, An’ look after my kail ; And when oor Queen passes I’m oot to see, Gin by luck she micht notice And nod oot to me ! But I’ve aye been unlucky, And the blinds were aye doon, Till last week the time O’ her visit cam’ roon’. I waved my bit apron As brisk’s I could dae, An’ the Queen lauch’d fu’ kindly Ah’ noddit to me ! My son sleeps in Egypt, It’s nae eese to freit— An’ yet when I think o’t I’m sair like to greet, •' Sne may feel for my sorrow— She’s a mither, ye see. An’ maybe she kent o’t When she noddit to me !
