This holiday time
with its bustle and travel
suggests that a poem
may be good for the rabble!
This year's been a good one
for us kilt-wearing men,
whether you're new to the style
or already have ten!
Your kilt may be tartan,
or hemp cloth, or leather.
You may wear it each day
or save it for cold weather.
You may wear it with sandals
or hose from Argyle...
but no matter our vision
we each take to the style.
We share thoughts in the forum
and learn from each other...
and in Phoenix or Glasgow
we call us all "brother".
Now wearing the kilt
can invite folks to tease....
But it's just that they envy
our feeling the "breeze".
Some clever men make their
own sporrans and belts.
Still others are sewing
their whole blessed kilts.
And many amongst us
are Newbies like me,
who've learned from the others...
That's really the key!
We're all over the world,
so wherever you stand,
just raise a wee toast
to our brotherly band.
May all good things next year
come at us full tilt...
and whatever we do
let's be wearing the kilt!
Happy Holidays
