Old Jock

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)
