Everybody's screwing us!

Apologies to Irving Berlin and thanks to AiChat
A song for Dumfies

Title: Everybody is Screwing Us

(Verse 1)
Well, Dumfries, oh Dumfries, what have you become?
A town in distress, feeling oh so glum.
The taxes keep rising, the roads full of holes,
Everybody's screwing us, taking their tolls.

(Chorus)
Everybody is screwing us, oh what a plight,
From politicians to the electric bill's height.
Dumfries, dear Dumfries, in this mess we're stuck,
Seems like everyone's aiming to make a quick buck.

(Verse 2)
The promises made, oh they fade away,
Empty words linger, like clouds of dismay.
Development's booming, but where does it go?
Everybody's screwing us, it's a tough blow.

(Bridge)
Oh, the traffic is chaos, the schools are too small,
Everybody's screwing us, we're feeling the gall.
Dumfries, sweet Dumfries, in this tangled mess,
Everybody's screwing us, causing distress.

(Chorus)
Everybody is screwing us, with a cunning grin,
Fees, fines, and taxes, it's the state we're in.
Dumfries, oh Dumfries, caught in this fuss,
Everybody's screwing us, it's a collective hush.

(Outro)
So here we stand, in the town of dismay,
Everybody's screwing us, day by day.
Dumfries, dear Dumfries, we're in this together,
Hoping for change, for the worse to get better.

Measure - **Current Performance**:    - 10% defect rate (3 out of 30 samples) where ...

Cuddy Rigg the Dumfries Fool

The Revival of Cuddy Rigg: The Fool Returns to Dumfries “A jest’s a blade in velvet—soft to touch, sharp beneath.” — Border proverb Welcome to the World of Cuusy Rigg, Modern Fool of Dumfries and Galloway In the cobbled closes and mossy lanes of Dumfries and Galloway—where the River Nith still whispers of Reivers, outlaws, and ghostly ballads—a curious figure has re-emerged. Meet Cuusy Rigg: jester, satirist, provocateur. A twenty-first-century descendant of that most ungovernable of traditions—the licensed fool. Drawing inspiration from the legendary Cuddy Rigg, the so-called “Third-Class Fool of Dumfries”, Cuusy revives the spirit of liminal mischief. In a time of digital dogma and public piety, his jests carry the echoes of a past where truth came dressed in motley and truth-tellers danced at the edge of power. Cuusy is more Wode than Woke—less concerned with purity than provocation, with rightness than resonance. His is the fool’s license renewed: speaking what others dare not, lau...
