I've solved it here's the answer:
CdM
Software - I've solved it! Here's the
answer
question:
CdM - O what's a reet rant mashing?
CdM
Footnote 1: @Darren Yes, I did see what you did there
Footnote 2: @Software Apologies for taking that liberty with your line
Footnote 3: "rant" (Scots dialect, stretching usage just a bit) = merry, wild
Darren
[CdM] Yeah, as soon as I posted it I realised I'd screwed up the poem. It would have been better to try for it on line 4. Still, onwards and upwards.
CdM
The answer to this anagram
O what's a reet rant mashing?...
