bodach :: 25th december 2008

frook has been getting creative again with her wee corkbots. inspired by all things gaelic, this year's christmas song borrows the tune from mick o'brien's 'kitty lie over' and marries it together with the words from a scots gaelic nursery rhyme about building a snowman: bodach. bodach reputedly means 'bogeyman' so the words are suggestive of what might befall the naughty children, who don't get christmas presents from santa.
