Some Gifted Few lisp ( Baby-talk) in Numbers ( Poetic
Verses) as these numbers automatically come to them, right?
I’ve seen the Scots Have This Blessing.
Do you know of any other nationalities / races / ethnicity can
lay equal claim to it?

YOUR WORDS ARE POETRY TO ME, THAT IS WHY I FOLLOW ALL YOUR QUESTIONS !!

The Irish; recall the Blarney Stone which gives one the gift of a lilting tongue. Yeats, Joyce and Kavanagh and Swift, to name a few.
To reply, I guess you don’t know any Irish, then. Other than Burns, I can’t name another Scot poet of note whereas I can name many other Irish (Beckett and Collins for example). Therefore, a country that can give rise to so many laureates is, by definition, a land that has a long poetic tradition among its people (and, no, I’m not Irish).

Thumbs up to the Scottish clan after all that is where my hertiage came from. I love em all.
