If It Is Not Scottish, It Is Crap-W

Welcome to All Things Scottish – 
If it's not Scottish, it's craaaapp.
When in Scotland, be a scot.

If you don’t wear T-shirt with the words
“If it ain’t Scottish, it’s crap”
You are other than a scot.

If you have not visited any Shoppe
For Scottish mom and pop fish’n chip
You are other than a scot.

If you have not visited Edinburgh Castle
And the homes of Sir Walter Scot
You are other than a scot.

If you don’t visit the old pubs
To drink Scotch whisky
You are other than a scot.

If you have not read Burns’ poem
My luv was like red red roses
You are other than a scot

If don’t put on the manly garb kilt
When you are getting married
You are other than a scot

Going on date first time
What brand condom selected
If not scotish, it’s crap.

Well DR. Ram, here it is, I've been waiting to see what you would do with your assignment. Smile. Mighty fine job I must say. I would have had to do some research on the subject myself. I don't know that much about the Scottish. Thanks for your comments this week. Have a nice weekend. Agape, Moses
