内容简介：
Andrew McGhie is a scientist by vocation but whose avocation is that of a poet and songwriter. He caught the latter bug at age thirty-seven, which was precisely the age that Scotland's national bard, Robert Burns, died and hence the title of the book 'In the footsteps of the Bard.' For over twenty-five years he has been amusing his co-workers, friends, neighbors, and relatives, with his dry humor, much of which revolves around his daily life, and it is at their insistence that he has decided to share his work with the world Perhaps he comes by his gift genetically since his maternal grandfather was born in Limerick and his paternal grandfather shares a birthday with Burns He believes that poetry should both scan and rhyme (most of the time.)
