Two local translations of the same poem, in keeping the the tradition.

flamin mediocrity sky marvel at its muckle
dull depths. tell wor, frances d'ya wondor
why the hairless cat ignores yee? why its
foobly gaak makes yee feel flamingly mediocre.
i gan tell yee, it is worreed by yor scroon-like
facial growth that looks leek a unidentifeed.
what's mare, it knows yoor scroon pottin shed
smells iv that. everythin undor the muckle flamin
mediocrity sky asks why, why d'ya evon botha?
Only the cat knows

Flamin mediocrity sky marvel at its muckle dull depths.
tell wor, frances d'ya wondor why the hairless moggy
ignores yee? why its foobly gaak makes yee feel flamingly
mediocre. i gan tell yee, it is worreed by yor scroon-like
facial growth that looks lick a unidentifeed. what's mare,
it knows yoor scroon pottin shed smells iv that. everythin
undor the muckle flamin mediocrity sky asks why,
why d'ya evon botha?
Only the moggy knows.
