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
Thatâs newly sprung in June;
O my Luve is like the melody
Thatâs 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 aâ the seas gang dry...
Fall in Love and Buy a Horse

My Son, these maxims make a rule,
Anâ 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 oâ caff in;
So neâer a fellow-creature slight
For random fits oâ daffin.
âRobert Burns, âAddress to the Unco Guid, or the Ridgidly Righteousâ

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 wasnât drying nor the hot vine didnât help you do your talkingâŚ
âTo That Man Robert Burnsâ
