    Poem for the New Year

    A Wish for 2014

    For the rabble at "X Marks the Scot"
    Here's a cheerful New Year's Wish:
    That we all look dapper in our kilts
    With just the right amount of swish…

    That we get to mix from time to time
    At kilt nights where we share
    The stories of our adventures
    In the tartans that we wear.

    That we stand out in a crowd
    In which admiring ladies glance
    Wondering if their men one day
    Would wear a kilt himself perchance

    That we chuckle at the wonder
    At what's worn beneath…or not
    And keep all our friends a-guessing
    Just how cool we are…..or hot!

    That we expand our comfort zone a bit
    Just doing things we like
    And wear a kilt into the office
    Or on a sunny summer hike

    That we discover the rich heritage
    Of the Celts and all their clans
    And toss a caper or throw a stone
    As the Highland sports demand.

    Where 'ere you live, where 'ere you go
    Throughout the coming year
    Enjoy your kilted ventures
    And tell your stories to us here!
