The chime struck ten
The Mouse smiled then
And opened up his Scotch

Alcoholic

I needed a scotch,
 the night was cold and black.
The wind ripped my cheeks
and pushed me into a ditch,
crying for the home I lost.

A Glass of Scotch

She poured another glass of scotch
And gulped it down in one;
She knew the answer wasn’t booze -
But dying wasn’t fun.

A Scot of the fearsome Black Watch
Regrettably drank all the Scotch
His wife made it clear
She did not like beer
With a fearsome kick to his crotch.

Paper everywhere,
Ribbons, cards, and string, till I’m
Almost bound to swear!

Talking Turkey

Earth glows in the dark like a bauble
Though sometimes its orbit will wobble
In Glasgow they came
To allocate blame
Knowing Scotch can make eagles gobble!

There Is An Auld Laddie Near Fife

who sought for himself a good wife.
As no one would have 'im
he retired to a cabin
and drinks Scotch every day of his life.

Shafted

Bobby Aiken was proud to be Scotch.
As a pole-vaulter he was top-notch.
But on one faulty try
he became a soprano guy,
having been poled crack-on in the crotch.

Storm Coming

Wind spit come down in buckets
Abiding in solemn Scotch mists 
Components of an overwhelming tempest 
Seek shelter before thrash out
Or dance under the rain chuck down

There once was a bold prig named Wiener
who had an unsightly demeanor
he took pics of his crotch
after two shots of scotch  
"Where's his wife? Well nobodies seen her."

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"

10 degrees of separation
10 of clubs
10 days vacation

10 fold
10 good reason's

Constricted

Walt Willis had a pain in the crotch.
He vowed to stop drinking so much scotch.
But that wasn't to blame
the cause was clearly plain.
His gut needed a belt with a new notch.

Premium Member Like a Paper Cut

Love hurts
After the rain
My friend used to say
On those long rainy days
In Sydney
You need a bad woman
And a good bottle of scotch
I think that kind of love
Hurts like a paper cut.

Mans Best Friend

Sand slipping through her fingers
Of wasted times and jilted lovers
Sat with her spaniel on the porch
Poured herself a nice little scotch
Faithful to each other they were
As a doe and a deer

Premium Member Age Softens

There once was a  Scotch lassie called Sturgeon
Who ,in her youth ,was quite a curmudgeon
But when she took over from Salmond
She found that quite calming
And her better nature started to burgeon.

No Flame Is Eternal

No flame is eternal
the scotch of the pain 
is only so short 
but we are not alone
for You are here
to walk us 
to guide us 
and to refine us 
through the flame 
but not let them scorch our feet

Naked In the Garden

forgot to tell you
i gardened naked one day
gentle misting rain

thinned out salad greens
planted them where scotch bonnet
was on the end row

just me in rain boots
the chickens were embarrassed
dog just laughed out loud
