Highland Fling

What does a Scotsman wear under his kilt? Is it Fruit of the Loom? Is it nuthin'? When it's cold does he cover himself with a quilt? How much good Gaelic blood has been spilt 'cause he buried his Wee Willie up to the hilt In a fair colleen's warm married muffin? Author's note: Dear reader, after reading Linda Alice Fowler's delightful limerick "Kilt Atilt", I felt inspired to go into my archives and dig up this old chestnut.

Thanks, Ilene. I seem to recall that it started out to be a limerick, but my muse had other ideas.
