Mods, if this goes somewhere else, feel free to move it

Bill has asked me to address the dinner relative to the poem Tam O Shanter. I do not think the audiance is ready for me to tackle the poem as it is too long and I can bearly read a childs poem in American English.

So, I need to find a copy of the story in plain english to better familiarize myself with the piece, and I need ideas as to what I want to say or do. Just tell the story? Is there an appropriate toast?

All help apprecieted.

I will bring a camera this year as I have a new badger fullface sporran to trot out!
