Our respective national poets, celebrated 10 days apart, lived 100 years apart: and it Burns, Burns, Burns!

But Mousie, thou art no thy-lane,

An’ lea’e us nought but grief an’ pain,

          For promis’d joy!

(cca. 1786)

And, after a certain number of washes, it only fitted Nuk.

looking for something, finding something else
