    A smiler

    "There once was a lady from Wilts.
    Who walked up to Scotland on stilts;
    When they said it was shocking
    To show so much stocking
    She answered, "then what about kilts"?

    The reply was "We don't walk on stilts
    When traditionally wearing our kilts
    So then it's not shocking
    To show woolen stocking,
    Not nylon, as ye wear in Wilts!"

    I know nothing of limericks of Wilts,
    though I once owned a nice pair of stilts.
    Of limericks, some thirty
    are considered so dirty
    as to give a dear lover the jilts.

    This thread is a really good read,
    I'd hate to spoil or mislead,
    But I really must say
    Jeannie welcome and Hay!
    Carry on and I wish you God Speed.

    There once was a man from Wilts
    Who spent much money on kilts
    Once fashionably attired
    To his hometown he retired
    And was mobbed by the ladies in Wilts

    If you are regimental beneath your kilts
    Do not go forth on stilts
    Off to jail
    You may sail
    Where there is neither stilts or kilts

    There once was a young lady from Wilts
    Whose boyfriend had lots of kilts
    Thir parent all dreaded
    any thoght of them wedding
    So they eloped to London from Wilts

    There are no single women in Wilts
    They've left to find men who wear kilts
    Now many a lass is all sad
    For the men who wear plaid
    Have married women from Wilts

    There are lots of new parents in Wilts
    Who are all wearers of kilts
    They have tartan diapers
    And plaid nose wipers
    Tartan is not spartan in Wilts

    Loved your reply! Will put those in my book of Limericks. I take it that these are
    composed by you? If so, many congrats!
