    Frae Moonshine Tae Sunshine 1828 By The Stroke O' A Pen
    Dear Earthlings:)

    Oor luv o' Scotland season continues with....
    " From Moonshine To Sunshine..1828"..which encapsulates a moment in history....
    describing how the 'outlaws,' with their 'moonshine' whiskey..
    ,,,.so called because they distilled at night, and were gone by the morning.
    ..real fly by nights:)) suddenly... had the 'sunshine' of legitimacy poured
    down upon them..through an Act Of parliament .Wow..! they and their
    families lives, were changed forever.....
    ... by the Stroke O' A Pen.

    Here I staun in amazement as
    on a billboard plain as the hair
    oan ma heid an act o’ parliament
    proclaims that from this day the
    makin’ o’whiskey is legal michty
    me an outlaw becomes an inlaw
    wi the flourish o’ a pen sich
    recollections o’ times past when
    ever oan the move ma illegal still
    tae conceal an ma hi jinks in run
    ins wi’ the law ever ma luck stood
    steady and noo a need it nae mair
    hoo blessed am ah tae be here
    floatin oan the tide o’change
    a chance fer me to enter high
    society tae be feted fer ma whiskey
    nae mair tae hide ma brew as a
    sobre sic member o’ society ah
    michty me hoo this world birls
    roon an black turns tae white wi
    the stroke o’ a pen a toast tae the
    law makers fer in their infinite
    wisdom huv created’ moonshine
    intae sunshine tae brighten aw
    oor lives

    slainte tae the watter o’ life
    evera frien’ tae me

    aw blessins tae
    thee an’ thine
