Trews
When the wind chimes high
when the wind chimes low
through the links
in his kilt he'll go
all the lassies say hello
Donald where's your troosers?
A slimy heel slippery eel
tho' no feared he'd take the fall(s)
he lost his breeks on the course
where caddies dropped (all) his ball(s)
With apologies to Andy Stewart (1933 – 1993)

Scotland
I couldn't give a toss for the caber
cromach bagpipes sporran or kilt
(a fling's the thing)
and you can stick your dirk in your haggis
up to its bog-wood hilt
yet I'd like to hike through the heather
on happy Sassenach holidays
see the scenery admire the view
along Scottish hilly highways and byways
to pick a pink-purple thistle or two
and should I

The Wee Man And His Kilt
It's time to relate a story
About a wee man and his kilt,
How he obtained this garment
Made out of tartan quilt...
He was born in a leprechaun village.
He grew much taller than the rest.
His leprechaun IQ was a dram too short
But his highland fling was the best!
None of his peers could fathom it out.
Why was he so

MY UNCLE WEARS A DRESS
My uncle wears a dress
I heard my uncle talking
About his favourite dress,
And how he needs a new one
As its old and in a mess.
He says it`s frayed and tattered
And the pleats are wearing flat,
So he will need to get a new one
That goes right with his hat.
He also wears a frilly blouse
With ruffles on

Kilt Atilt
there once was a man from Kingsbury
who put on his kilt in a hurry
in a bit of a flap
he forgot his jockstrap
a chill wind put him in a flurry

Kilt the Look
A certain poise, the bagpipes lack
Not being rude, it’s just a fact
The kilt is first-rate
The rest, not so great
Red in the face, squeezing your sack

Stone Cold
Dan, Dan, was a popular man
had a plaid for his homeland clan
his kilt it slipped
cold breeze it nipped
less popular now than he began

Kilt Tilt
A girl on the Tube stared at my crouch
Her mum sat there and tried not to watch
Then mum's face turned red
As she softly said,
"She thinks that is where I get my Scotch"

No Kilt For Milt
Never look back and be eaten up with guilt
Try to correct what you did in the future
I remember the first time I showed up in a kilt
Never look back and be eaten up with guilt
Everyone said, “Not for you my friend, Milt,”
Truthfully, I think it is a matter of culture
Never look back and be consumed

Because they kilt the last man who called it a skirt!

Lass of a Man
The man was strong
The man was bold
Didn't listen to the rest unfold
He took in his culture, pride
He wore his kilt, with pride
Did it make him less of a man? Sigh.
Did it make a lass of the man? Wry.
Forgo these ancient thoughts
That make the thinker less of a human
Drought over their eyes
To see a proud

The Great Kilt- One of the Themes of Scotland
The great kilt.
“Och aye the noo”
TraIs the cat deid? –
Has the cat died? your trousers are a bit short
– like a flag flying at half mast
Liken my great grandfather did why don’t you put on a kilt
Oh yes, right now
My 16th century
Originating in the traditional
Scots bearing dress of men and boys
In the

Clan Douglass
The noble house rom the Scottish Lowlands
with the green, white, and blue bands.
The green for the salamander
resting on a bed of amber.
Although, factually, our monuments are ruins,
The kilt has a hint of blue in.
Having an appearance in the 12th century,
The history and descendants will never lose energy
Never behind as it appears

Scotsman's Warmth
Bagpipes conveying the delight
Of a country filled with insight
Swinging their kilts in accord
With their song of joy, so adored
They color the world in green
Appreciating the good queen
Awakening a world to glean
~
Gaelic poetry and prose will sigh
Through the echoes of a blue sky
That reminisce with kilts so bright
Laughter harmonizing despite
The blessed stanzas and rhymes
Poems alive with
