So I was watching the 2nd year of ER in the background. In one episode, Dr Morgenstern (jewish father, scots mom) was carried into the ER in a kilt: he had somehow dropped a caber on his leg and broken it. He was despondent as it was HIS year to have the honor of cutting the haggis. He had memorized THIS POEM and recited portions of it (esp stanza 3 which is so appropriate for a surgeon). Then we heard bagpipes and all his nephews marched in with pipes and drum and they cut and served the haggis to everyone in the ER.<BR/>MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
