Say No to Raithism

HUGH MORRIS

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 Dougal D. McFrugal growled,
“I’m fed up t’ back teeth
wi’ demeanin’ observations
from folk o’ Cowdenbeath,
plus supporters o’ East Fife
an’ Dunfermline too,
who are obsessed wi’ colours
which are nae Raith Rovers’ blue..
Tho’ I’m th’ proudest Scotsman
t’ ever wear clan kilt an’ sporran,
I’m tolerant o’ ev’ryone
except those who are foreign..
but somethin’ else I cannae bide,
it makes m’ aul’ heid steam,
is blatant snide an’ prejudice
against m’ foo’ball team..
‘Tis Raithial discrimination,
so mon, if y’ give a hoot,
lend support t’ th’ campaign..
Raithism – kick it oot!!”
