A DECENT LASS FROM DAIRSIE
​

There are seven wonders of the world as everybody knows;
The pyramids and the Taj Mahal are the two best known of those,
But an even greater wonder would take it up to eight -
A Decent Lass from Dairsie would be wondrous to locate.

They say a monster’s hiding in the waters of Loch Ness.
No-one’s ever seen it; what it looks like is anyone’s guess.
And no-one’s ever seen an even more elusive beast,
A Decent Lass from Dairsie; well hidden to say the least.

A scientist called Peter Higgs found a wee thing called a boson,
And the search for even wee-er things is an obsession that goes on. 
The most unlikely object that would bring a Nobel Prize, if found,
A Decent Lass from Dairsie; to observe one would break new ground.

Next time you see a rainbow remember what it portends.
It’s said you’ll find a crock of gold where the rainbow ends, 
But if you try to find that gold your search will be in vain,
Like a Decent Lass from Dairsie, it’s a myth none can explain.

Dinosaurs once roamed the earth many years ago,
But a comet smashed into it and the big beasts had to go,
And another of God’s creatures has been wiped from the planet’s face,
Of a Decent Lass from Dairsie there’s not the slightest trace.
