Och, perhaps,

I like aye.
In films it does so much work for the dour,
the caricature of a man who stands at his front door or in his wee
bitty field, kicking his sheep
as the hero and heroine go by.
They say, "grand day,"
and he says, "Aye," or "Och,"
but never "Och aye the noo."
That's for foreigners to do.
