The XMTS Limmericks Thread

[Panache]

ForresterModern created the XMTS Poet Laureate Challenge thread http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/c...473/index.html , from which a great number of our members have set their hands to another form of poetry... The Limmerick!

Surely such fun is worthy of its own thread!

The Ladies and Gentlemen of X Marks the Scot.com are hereby given leave to cut loose their creativity in the area of kilt related limericks!

For comments on either thread use this thread

FM does ask that:

The only rule is you have to follow the limerick structure this time (I hope I don't have to explain that one). Oh, and lets try to keep it as clean as possible---this is a family show.

Have at and have fun!

Cheers

There once was a man called Milt
Who bought himself a fine kilt
Because of his beliefs, he shucked off his briefs
And caused all the ladies to wilt

I'm not sure if it's iambic pentameter....

[Alan H]

My kilt, it is made out of wool
and in it, I live life to the full.
The lasses they've liked
when my kilts' upwards, hiked
and downwards, I've neglected to pull.

[Alan H]

Now, my kilt, it is yellow, white and blue
and I wear it regimentally, it is true.
Not that anyone really knows
'cause the color of my hose
commands attention, and my sporran is askew.

[MacMillan of Rathdown]

Up in his wee Highland Glen
Lives a man many of us ken;
Tis our own JockScot
Who always has taught
"Tradition is best my friend".

[Barry]

I never was very good at following rules

An eager young Mum name of Ali
To post in the thread didn't dally.
In her haste and her speed
the rules didn't read.
She's really a bit of a scally.

scally: abbr. for scallywag - one who is playfully mischievous

My name is Grant
And here is my rant:
When in the heck
Will I ever get
That ever elusive kilt check?

[Old Hippie]

There was a young lad from Chilton
Whose kilt, near lasses, was tiltin'
He was really quite prim
and sewed weights in the hem
So his tiltin' protection was built-in.

:ootd:

[MacMillan of Rathdown]

They shoveled him into a hearse,
This lad who'd come off far the worse,
For bein' a moron
And callin' me sporran
Some kind of a lady's wee purse!

[Barry]

There was a young Scot called McAdder
For kilt wearing there was none madder
He went regimental
In winds that were gentle
But never would climb up a ladder
