Poems - To Jimmy Johnstone
Wee juking, jiving, jinking Jimmy,
What endless joy your antics gie me,
Ye twist and shuffle, shake and shimmy
Wi feline grace.
Defenders sprachle oot behin' ye
A'ower the place.
O laddie wi' the teinkling feet,
Ye mak' defenders girn and greet;
Ye waltz aroon, through rain and sleet
Or sunshihe bricht.
I sit and squirm here on my seat
Wi' sheer delicht.
Wee teasing , tanalising chiel.
O shades o' Morton, James and Steel:
W' rasping shot and cute back heel
Or deadly flicks.
For like trump cairds in ony deal
Ye'er fu' o' tricks
In fitba books ye'll write yer name,
Wee weaving wizard o' the game;
Yer phot in the Hall o' Fame
Will surely hing.
And Celtic fans will make the claim
Ye're Soccer's king.
(By Henry McCraken of Drunmore - 1970)
