OK … it’s a braw menu an I’ve ordered the mergh rich shin bone wi a liver pâté an a side o lettuce.

Ahn I ken it’s a howf whaur ye kin eat in yer bath an even allooed tae feuch awa at yer pipe in comfort.

But yer gi’en a posh cat fur a waiter, ah’n a jist dinni trust a cat no tae hae a fly lick at the mergh.

Translate:

mergh, merg, marth: marrow.

OK … it’s an excellent menu and I have ordered the marrow rich shin bone with a liver pâté and a garnish of lettuce.

And I know it’s a rendezvous where one can eat in one’s bath and one is even allowed to smoke away at one’s pipe in comfort.

But one is given a posh cat for a waiter, and I just do not trust a cat not to take a sneaky lick at the marrow.
