Ode to Macqueen
By MacRatoza

Wind swept past the Firth of Froth that brought
The clans at dusk; nay come for naught
But fun and joy amid the families; and with some food
And ale with light heart doeth set the mood.

Knoweth:

There was MacAlister, MacAuley, MacBrain and Macbrayne,
The MacDonalds from Clanranald to Keppoch a' b'twain,
MacDougall, Macdowall, MacDuff and MacEwen,
And Macfarlane and family arrive at near noo’n.

Comes Macfie, Macgillivray, MacInnes, and MacIntyre,
MacIver, Mackay, Mackenzie, and Mackie,
Mackinnon, Mackintosh, Maclachlan, Maclaren
MacLea, Maclean, MacLellan and MacMillan.

But don't be so fast, for he does hold his part,
As comes Ol' Macnab a-driving the whobbly ale cart.
Diddly dum Macqueen, diddly dee to thee,
I’m stung in the knee by a middling bumble mc-bee.

Past Macnaghten, MacNeil, Macpherson, Macquarrie,
Soon comes Macrae, MacTavish, MacThomas and Makgill-rie.
Seeking the spirits and toast from our Jason Macqueen
As he sets ne'r his long-legged ale making machine.

The best from Macqueen a'nigh fore the start,
Along with his ale comes Macqueen's bar-b-que cart.
Macqueen's burgers are rare, his burgers are nigh well,
His burgers are eaten up river and down the low dell.

His ale and his meal hath Macqueen a well-do jolly
As other clan members seek to out-nix his wit folly,
In making his burgers upon his name-sake,
Without so much as a trademark, nay go on, f'christsake!

But don't be so fast, for he does hold his part,
Comes Ol' Macqueen driving the whobbly ale cart.
Diddly dum Macqueen, diddly dee to thee,
I’m stung in the knee by a middling bumble mc-bee.
