Address to the Tunnock's Snowball

In 2009, to celebrate Rabbie Burns' birthday, Scottish author Craig McGill wrote a poem dedicated to the Tunnock's Snowball, a Scottish treat. It is a riff on Robert Burns's Address To A Haggis and was written in thanks for the large donation that Tunnock’s made to support the Robert Burns Birthplace Museum that opened in 2010:

Fair fa’ coconut sprinkled face,

Great chieftain o the teacake-race!

Aboon them a’ ye tak your place,

mallow, choc, or cream:

Weel are ye wordy of a grace

As lang’s my arm.

Here is the original:

Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face,
Great chieftain o' the puddin-race!
Aboon them a' ye tak your place,
Painch, tripe, or thairm:
Weel are ye wordy o' a grace
As lang's my arm.
