Put Butter in My Donald's Brose
Put Butter in My Donald's Brose - meaning Summary
Sexual Farce and Social Reversal
This short, bawdy narrative poem presents a crude comic encounter between a young woman and Donald. It treats courtship as physical bargaining and mock combat: Donald boasts and is shamed, the woman asserts sexual control, then punishes him playfully. Refrains emphasize ironic understatement and a cyclical return to the same domestic outcome. The tone mixes ribald humor with social teasing, reversing expected masculine dominance and foregrounding a woman’s sexual agency within a folk setting. The language is deliberately earthy and designed to provoke laughter as much as to tell a brief story.

That he wad fecht the battle there, An stick the lass, an a' that. His hairy ballocks, side an wide, Hang like a beggar's wallet; A pentle like a roarin-pin, She nichered when she saw that!!! Then she turned up her hairy cunt, An she bade Donald claw that; The deevil's dizzen Donald drew, An Donald gied her a' that. For a' that, an a' that, An twice as meikle's a' that, The lassie gat a skelpit doup, But wan the day for a' that.
