The “Distracted Boyfriend” meme, for Robert Burns’s poem “Address to the Unco Guid, or the Ridgidly Righteous”. The girlfriend (labelled “Douce Wisdom”) looks upset and angry with her boyfriend (labelled “Poor Mortal”) who is turning around to eye up another passing woman (labelled “Glaikit Folly”)
