You need some heate to meake some luve

The Baltic air jus’ won’ suffice

For whin ye try to kess ‘er leps

Ye may jus’ fin’ ‘em sheer whi’ ice

Aye pey yer bells ‘n pey em righ’

In aut’mn ‘n in wint’ar

A waurm-like kess ‘n January

Meakes the nights less bitt’ar

Wee litl’uns soon well be aroun’

Whin heate meakes luve in June

And you’ll be happiar trus meh son

And dancing to ‘er tune.

Author's Note:

Written 10 Years Ago

Original Author's Note: I wrote this poem using a saying that my wife and I use regularly. It sounds like "You need hate to make love" but it's actually, "You need heat to make love". I tried to make the poem as clean as possible for propriety's sake, but I thought this concept would go nicely with Robert Burns' "A Red, Red Rose". My tribute to the poem was the last stanza lines 2 and 4 with the use of June and Tune. There's also another nice little progression I stuck in there if you can find it, it's not hard to find if you're looking.
