So I asked an AI to generate an image to illustrate the Burns poem, My Luv Is Like A Red Red Rose.

This is what it gave me. Pretty cool. I think the Bard would have approved.

Happy Burns Night 2024

O my Luve is like a red, red rose
That’s newly sprung in June;
O my Luve is like the melody
That’s sweetly played in tune.

So fair art thou, my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I;
And I will luve thee still, my dear,
Till a’ the seas gang dry...

Yay. Burn’s Night all sorted. Thank you #MandS

My Son, these maxims make a rule,
An’ lump them aye thegither;
The Rigid Righteous is a fool,
The Rigid Wise anither:
The cleanest corn that ere was dight
May hae some pyles o’ caff in;
So ne’er a fellow-creature slight
For random fits o’ daffin.

—Robert Burns, “Address to the Unco Guid, or the Ridgidly Righteous”

Dear Robert Burns,

You skipped the big town streets just like I done, you ducked the crosstown cop just like I ducked, you dodged behind a beanpole to beat the bigtime dick and you very seldom stopped off in any big city where the rigged corn wasn’t drying nor the hot vine didn’t help you do your talking…

“To That Man Robert Burns”
—Woody Guthrie, June 9, 1947
Published in Woody Guthrie, Born To Win (Macmillan, 1965)
