~ The Scotsman ~


The proper response to the question 'What do Scotsmen wear beneath their kilts?':
"Give us yer hand lassie, and I'll show ye!"

~Diana Gaboldon, Drums of Autumn




The Scotsman
A Scotsman clad in kilt,
went to a bar, one evening fare.
And one could tell by how he walked,
he'd drunk more than his share
He stumbled 'round until
he could no longer keep his feet
Then he fell at once into the grass
to sleep beside the street

About that time,
three young and lovely ladies happened by
And one said to the other,
with a twinkle in her eye
"See yon sleeping Scotsman,
so strong and handsome-built?
I wonder if it's true
what they don't wear beneath their kilt?"

So they krept up on that sleeping Scotsman
quiet as could be
And lifted up his kilt
about an inch so they could see
And what they found, for them to view,
beneath that Scottish skirt?
Twas nothing more than God a-graced
him with upon his birth!

Well they marvelled for a moment,
then one said
"We must be gone. Let's leave a present for our friend
before we move along"
As a gift they left a bright blue ribbon
tied into a bow
Around the bonny thing
the Scot's lifted kilt did show

Well, the Scotsman wakes to nature's call,
and he stumbles for a tree
He lifts up his kilt,
and gawks at what he sees
And in a startled voice he shouts
to what's before his eyes
"Och, Lad I don't know where ya been,
but I see ye won first prize!"
