Ballroom dance on stilts
Earth‘s crust we’re dancing on tilts
Blowing up our kilts...

Hank was a maker of stilts
and sold stunning quilts.
Trade was a success
but caused folks duress
when workers on stilts wore kilts....

St. Patrick's Day does come but once a year,
to those wearing green here's a mighty cheer,
so may the kilts fly high
as the parade goes by...
A toast to the lads who tie down their gear!...

Looking Up Kilts All Had Guilts Horn Haiku

He who walked in kilts
Also was standing on stilts 
Look up and feel guilt's.

James Thesarious Hilarious Horn
Very Nice Veteran and Poor,
Petrified Poet...

knowing who wore warm
kilts where
was why knots were
wound wardrobes
knitted warmest when waistcoat
kind was
woven wool keeping watchmen
warriors waiting
kindly while watching washroom
kings wither while wine
knocked wisdoms went waste

Listen to poem:

Down under the sea it's frolic time free.
Fiddler crabs play jigs, lolling, lively lilts.
Cockles flap up to clang their symbols with glee.
Angelfish, halos askew, sing in kilts.
Octopuses play jazz in harmony.
Shrimps a dancing, rocking attune on stilts.
Anemones tentacles wave in surge,
as tide and current roll rhythms and submerge....

Calling
I hear the pipes from far away
drummers in fields play
highlands and bogs
pipers march
in dawns lifting fog
past forest and streams
overlooking stormy seas
the brave need no sword
In kilt they know who is lord
comrades and comradely
the knights of the highlands
know the battles are won
when in kilts the Pipers sound
aye lad's, I too march
homeward bound...

Aussie stood in his chaff bag kilt,
bandy knees, didna give it, it's tilt,
the steam was arising too,
just come from woolloloo,
shiela said "man, Gawd but he's built."

thanks Dave Williams....

Nette,
if ya got it flaunt it,
some shiela said that's torn, wit,
Aussie kilts are yet denied,
though we have the Scottish pride,
just a promise it will fit:)

Gordon's gin
is not Scottish
but British
Canadian whisky
is better than nothing,
if all you have is nothing.

The name 'Gordon'
means -
'Large fort, big hill'.

This has drove many a Gordon
to drink, and dark poetry.

Pink Gin is for slim men
who brunch until lunch.

The Scots like to sword dance
in their shorty kilts
that's what too much whisky
can make you do....

Gallant Scotland's Fame 

From Atlantic to North Sea
Ours is land again
With Europe’s largest oil reserves,
Our country again free. 

All for Scotland’s freedom stand
Marching in national kilts,
Bagpipers are playing new hymn –
Saluting the country’s rebirth. 

Caledonia – Scotland my country
With blue flag as skies above us,
White cross as innocence of Christ,
Independent, faithful and free....

Another bash 

   Careening dancers emerge

Frenzied

           Gyrating haplessly into jigs

                                                  kilts lifting

                     Maurice nods

                               Ormond poised  queerly 

Rocking
                   stretching 

                  Tim under vintage wiles 

                                                 Xavier  yawning  zzs....

About Those Kilts 

By Elton Camp

It causes me neither harm nor hurt
If a man should decide to wear a skirt

To some in Scotland it must bring delight
I hear that over there it’s a common sight

But may it not spread to the USA, please
Who wants to see a man’s knobby knees

If a strong wind should happen to blow
Who knows what vile sight it might show

For Scotland, I’ve thought about this before
What icons are put on the bathroom door?...
