Address for a well-used haggis

I have been charged with addressing the haggis at our regular Burn's Night.

Our previous stalwart used to say an extra verse or two over the remains of the haggis after the meal but I can't find them.

The line that sticks and everyone expects to join in with is:

"Your inside's oot and your ootside's in"

If anyone does know this extra verse, you'll make some old men very happy!

2 days to go !

I've got my haggis (in the freezer - got it in Edinburgh) and I've yet to get my neeps. Swedes here are extortionately priced (Swedes, imported for Scots, grown in Holland ) but ach well, this is in a good cause.

'Odd' Says Rabbi Burns Who Has Never Visited Scotland

Rabbi Ethan Burns says he is very confused by a letter he received asking him to provide a recipe for the Scottish dish haggis.

Burns told the Jewish newspaper 'The Daily Star (of David)' that he received the letter yesterday. "It was a gentleman from Sweden, who found my address online, he said that he enjoyed his visit to Scotland in January, especially the night dedicated to me and could I provide the recipe for the haggis dish!"

Burn's, who lives in Golder's Green has never been to Scotland nor even tasted Haggis.

Quote:
The letter from the Swede stated:
Dear Rabbi Burns,

I enjoyed your supper on the 25th January. It was the culmination of a great week in Glasgow. The toast to your 'immortal memory' will live with me forever. Please could you forward your Haggis recipe to me? It was delicous!

Yours

Sven Swedeandtatties
"It makes no sense" said the confused Rabbi Burns "I am not even sure the letter is kosher, could be some hasidic playing silly buggers!"
