Scotty's Bagpipes

Brambles surround Scotty's bagpipes
  Briars sharp, of severest types
    He thought that he could
    Play tunes in a wood
  Instead of music ~ out came gripes



      A tip of the hat to Jeff Kyser,
      whose poem 'Penny Whistle'
      inspired this Limerick. :) gw

Now I understand why they used to tell 'Scotty' jokes in Israel...
