Manly Men

I love manly men.
I love men in tartan kilts
who wear them effusively.
What is under them?
Do they wear short pantaloons
that will not show under kilts?

Or just in the buff
that will allow air to flow
and cool what suspends beneath?
Regardless, I love
manly men in tartan kilts
who move with cool confidence.

I toast Scottish kilts,
and the bare-kneed manly men, 
and Gael clans to which they’re bound.
May they never lose
their bold, cocksure demeanor 
and ever display their plaids.

I"m not into kilts but adore the boldness of your poem. I like soccer because one gets a cool view of men's leg muscles. And those thighs are wonderfully muscular. {SIGH} I belonged to two soccer clubs in Chicago years ago. And dated a top FIFA player when he was in town.)))) Excellent CHOLA....PANGIE XX
