THE AULD BROON TROOT by Sandy Thomas Ross In Sandy Thomas Ross’ famous Scots poem, an auld broon troot is thinking about the young fish around him who seem faster and stronger than him. But this classic poem shows there’s still plenty of life in this wise auld troot. ‘Sandy Thomas Ross’ was the pen name of a collaboration of three Ayrshire men: ‘Sandy’ MacMillan, an English teacher at Ayr Academy and Irvine Royal Academy; Thomas Limond, who became a noted town Chamberlain of Ayr; and A. L. (Ross) Taylor, Rector of Cumnock Academy .  The auld broon troot lay unner a stane, Unner a stane lay he, An he thocht o' the wund, An he thocht o' the rain, An the troot that he used tae be. A'm a gey auld troot, said he tae hissel, A gey auld troot, said he, An there's mony a queer-like tale A cuid tell O' the things that hae happened tae me. They wee-hafflin trooties are aw verra smert, They're aw verra smert, said he, They ken aw the rules O' the gemm aff by hairt, An they're no aften catched, A'll agree. They're thinkin A'm auld an they're thinkin A'm dinn, They're thinkin A'm dinn, said he, They're thinkin A'm no Worth the flirt o' a fin Or the blink o' a bonnie black ee. But A'm safe an A'm snug in ma bonnie wee neuk, A'm safe an A'm snug, said he, A'm the big fush that Nae fusher can heuk, An A'll aye be that - till A dee!
