Ayr Toon
by Ainsley Bryden (Ayr Academy)

Goin doon, doon a toon, an Ayr toon,
What dae ye see in Ayr,
A wee man wae his dug,
He’s havin a snooze when he gets a tap at his lug,
It’s his wee pal Jonny,
He’s like “here you, where’s my money?”
Then the guy wae the dug lucks
“Here you, this isnae funny, I’m only here for my money”,
Up he gets wae his wee dug,
And the wee dug gies the guys hon a tug,
They sterted a fight,
But this wisnae awright,
Cause doon come the polis
In their hefty van
He picks up the dug and picks up the man
That’s them away in that hefty van
