When I was a wee lad, I got a calligraphy set as a Christmas gift which I quite liked. I got pretty good at it, and my dad asked if I would write out "To A Mouse" for him. I did a pretty good job, and he had it framed. He still has it on a wall in his basement.

Green grow the rashes, O; Green grow the rashes, O; The sweetest hours that e'er I spend, Are spent amang the lasses, O.
There's nought but care on ev'ry han', In ev'ry hour that passes, O; What signifies the life o' man, An' 'twere na for the lasses, O. Green grow, etc
The warly race may riches chase, An' riches still may fly them, O; An' tho' at last they catch them fast, Their hearts can ne'er enjoy them, O. Green grow, etc
But gie me a canny hour at e'en, My arms about my Dearie, O; An' warly cares an' warly men, May a' gae tapsalteerie, O! Green grow, etc
For you sae douse, ye sneer at this, Ye're nought but senseless asses, O; The wisest Man the warl' saw, He dearly lov'd the lasses, O. Green grow, etc
Auld Nature swears, the lovely Dears Her noblest work she classes, O; Her prentice han' she try'd on man, An' then she made the lasses, O. Green grow, etc

Well, Johnny Carson did just die, and he played a role in people's lives. Burns died a long time ago and for most people has played a much smaller role. Therefore he's treated less with the emotional respect that you treat the dearly departed, but rather with the playfulness that most subjects are treated to here.
Nothing against Mr. Burns.

Burns Night, is it anything more than an excuse for a bunch of bourgeois blowhards to gather together in an attempt to prove themselves more Scottish than you are? Meanwhile, here's the real deal...

I'm in a Wetherspoons in Wood Green which is enjoining us to Celebrate Burns' Week. By the way, Wood Green what a fucking lifeless dump of a place.

And Wetherspoons, so many sad lost men sitting on their own. I'm not lost, btw, hop on the 29 and I'm home.

I'd guess they are more concerned with drinking themselves to oblivion than some Burns themed neeps n tatties meal deal.
