Robert the Dyas lost Bannockburn

a descendant repelled the English at Culloden

who sold his wares at Scottish fairs

and marketed the sporran. 

 

Stories like this on wild nights

can shiver the balls off a bull,

but Robert the Dyas lighted the fires

that showed the way for all. 

 

His family legacy soldiers on

from tartans to tomorite (now in stock)

his reputation crossing the border

together with bulbs and the wind up clock.
