Dont be silly
During the 14th century Scotchland was ruled by a race of friendly Triffids who would bestow their gifts to all of the beskirted man folk. They would huddle round a small fire and give thanks to their friends from "doon Suth". Unfortunately an evil man by the name of Edward invented a spray called DDT and destroyed the benificent flower lords. The men folk did lament and wrote the aforementioned ditty to mourn their passing.
