What does barnies be quid mean in Robert Burns poem the fower wunds?

"The fower wunds" was given to my eight year old son by his teacher to learn for the burns day celebrations.
I don't believe for one minuite that it was written by Robert Burns, First I cant find any mention of him having written it, second, It mentions "grannies" and from the context I take it to be referring to the grannies that you fit to the top of a chimney as a kind of windmill to disperse the smoke ( very popular in Scotland up to the introduction of smokeless coal but not invented in Burns' time) and thirdly, its not a very good poem. I'm no expert but it just feels too rough and unfinished to be written by the bard.
As for who did write it... an internet search turned up the name S.T. Ross but it was a very tenuous connection.
Im sorry that I couldn't find the meaning of "barnies be quid" either and to be honest that makes me wonder about this poem too, Im sure if it was written by burns then this phrase would be better known.
Neil.

"Barnies be quid" is an old Scottish phrase that roughly translates to "children are clever." In Robert Burns' poem "The Four Winds," this line is included in the description of a storm, emphasizing the power and unpredictability of nature. It serves to highlight the wisdom and resilience of children who can adapt and understand the world around them.

What do you do when you feel a pimple forming?
When you feel a pimple forming the best thing to do is keep your face oil free. Make sure you constantly wash it and dont play with it. Keep your hands/fingers off of the area where you feel a pimple forming. A good substance to rub over you skin is called "Lucas Pawpaw Ointment". This Ointment is made to relieve and cleanse (Boils, Burns, Chafing, Cuts, Cracked Skin, Gravel Rash, Splinters, Open Wunds, Insect Bites and Nappy Rash)
