Jock always wore a sporran and kilted Wore a clan tartan hat that looked quilted But couldn't cope with the stares And so now trousers he wears Cos everything below has now wilted... Word got round the town now everyone knows Why Jock has taken to wearing strange clothes He used to flash all his bits Have the young lassies in fits But now too embarrassed when the wind blows... (a sporran is a small leather pouch worn with a kilt that serves as a wallet as kilts don't have pockets) Written 26 September 2020.
