The Scotsman's Kilt

A Scotsman bought a kilt to swing. So he could do The Highland Fling. He grabbed my hand and pulled me out. Then everyone began to shout. Watch out Jean, it has been seen. A gust of wind revealed the thing. What could it be that Scotsman's got 'neath his skirt that caused such shock? Calm down all, it's just a leg. He was born that way, with an extra peg.

Thank you Anne-Lise. I wrote it for Arthur when he made a comment on LET'S DANCE that he had three feet.

That photo was actually taken here in Donegal, by a woman I know. Isn't it good? Is she not a little too young for you Arthur?

Of course I would go back again Arthur. I did a solo circle of 1,000 miles there once and loved it. Isle of Skye is a magical place.

This man mentioned he had three feet for dancing Daniel, so I figured the feet must be attached to something....

When I saw this title next to your name I knew I was in for a treat...I was not disappointed! Is this where the term "cool tool" comes from? ;-) cheerios and chipmunks! ~ john

He's certainly a cool Dude John, the man I have in mind. I've never felt his tool, so cannot comment on the temperature of it.
