Ants, I'd like to suggest that Burns' poem to a mouse () is about a young woman or female - in a novel literary interpretation possibly, and wonder if British propriety somehow gets / might have gotten in the way of others having made this suggestion too

Found this which could be suggestive: "The subtitle of the poem refers to the mouse as a female. Would the poem have less impact if it were about a male?" () No great shakes & thanks for tuning us in to Mouse & Louse by Burns, Ants!

While not Scots' Gaelic, Burns wrote in the Scots' language, a vernacular ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scots_language (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottish_Gaelic)

My pretty raven is a famous raven!

We've been running around and haven't had a chance to explore the possibilities that Rabbie's murine ode had some sort of human feminine component; he did write many poems to human females and many, even somewhat risque' ones, about love and its corollaries including the carnal ones; therefore I don't think he was overly shy about mentioning such things if he wanted. Who knows, though, what coded messages exist in people's poetry which can only be deciphered by the intended party and are then lost when that lone addressee ceases to be (becomes, in the words of Monty Python, 'an ex-parrot'). I'm always up for a party for whichever of my birthdays I'm still around for! Thanks for coming to the little gathering which was, I think, enjoyable for all concerned including our diminutive sprout, who seemed absorbed in many delightful activities and manifested what we regard as clear signs of contentment. See you for the next little soiree, whenever that is! -Ants.

Never certain how to follow up in conversation after such interesting panels: could World University and School scale the panelists companies on our developing WUaS Co platform in Latin American countries and in Spanish +? Should I email LBAN Exec Dir. Mark Madrid, Stanford Prof Paul Oyer, or Marlene Orozco - and re innovation potentials ?
