- When the Scotch Down met the Champion
Its at him he cast an eye
And says "How are you brother?
I hear your fine and dry
And though they brought you over here
And gave you this new name
Its every time I look at you
I think we are the same."
II
"Now hold your tongue you common spud
The Champion loud did cry
How dare you call me brother
And my pedigree so high
Of all the seed potatoes going
I'm known to be the best
For you are only rubbish
You are the farmers' pest.- Collector
