True story in rhyme

I met a man in Memphis and a man from Wales was he
He emailed me today about the tale of k and c
"In Wales" he said "we spell it cilt instead of kilt you see"
Because in Welsh we have no letter "k" and so instead use "c"

This man of short acquaintance also wondered why the Scots
Spell kilt with "k" when to his knowledge Gaelic has it not
Says I "you're right, in Gaelic kilt is feilidh, (mhor of less)
Mayhap we blame the English as the authors of the mess.


Still waiting on a reply, but if I ever get to Wales I'll look him up. I hope his wife got the beer out of her clothes. (sorry ma'am).

And by the way, I do have long legs and I know I'm a poet.
