Hah! Brian o' Linn gets contemporary. Great material, both senses. I always greatly admire "feminine rhymes" and, in comic verse, outrageous or unexpected ones. With regard to the bould Brian, he's always been noted for being a bit... rough and ready:

Briany o' Linn wrocht his ain PPE Kit
Frae auld hessian sacks, thaim wi' safety-pins steekit,
He keeps aa the neebor-fowk weel oot o' reach,
And gee's-up his Voddie wi' wee dauds o' bleach.

Briany o' Linn, art-historian, guessed
Why Napoleon aye kept his richt haun in his vest;
"A bulfie like thon, wi' the left haun within,
Wad be feelin' a Right Tit," quo Briany o' Linn.

I'm resisting the urge to see what there is about Peggy Ramsay, or anyone who sounds like her. Good Luck, ABCD.
