 In the dark deep internet, checking for those in the kilted know
 Bright lights of my monitor, lighting my room with their glow
 One hit on the search page, seemed just right
 Something about the name hit the spot
 I had to check out the site
 There I looked at the portal;
 I thought I heard the bagpipes play
 And I was thinking to myself,
 ’this could be a place I’d like to stay’
 Then I started searching the forums and I found what I was looking for
 There were so many great threads about kilts,
 I kept reading more…
 
 Welcome to the X Marks the Scot
 Such a lovely site
 One that feels  just right
 Plenty of room at X Marks the Scot
 If kilts are your taste, then this is the right place.
 
 The members’ minds are  pleated, they all got tartan hearts
 They got such handsome outfits, highland style turned into  fine arts
 How they preen in their photos, in great kilted style.
 Some dress just for themselves and some to make the ladies smile
 
 So I emailed a  kilt store
 I wrote "please send me a kilt!"
 They responded quickly “ Just one Sir? You know that you will need more!“
 And all those members writing from so far away,
 I read their posts in the middle of the night
 Just to hear them say...
 
 Welcome to the X Marks the Scot
 Such a lovely site
 One that feels  just right
 They’re all jonesing at X Marks the Scot
 What a pleasant wait, what made me hesitate?
 
 Good  fellowship in the forums,
 Politeness in the posts
 We all get along so well around the world and coast to coast
 And when the Moderators gather ,
 They look at a kilted membership thousands strong
 They hardly need to interfere,
 Because on X Marks everyone can belong
 
 Last thing I remember, I was
 falling asleep
 I had to shut down my computer
 Before I got in too deep
 ’relax,’ wrote a Moderator,
 “but Kilted Newbie, don’t be naive.
 You can logout any time you like,
 But you can never leave!”
 
 Cheers
 
 Jamie

		 the best verse in the song Jamie. I logout all the time, but find myself returning, returning, returning. Good job.

 Dressed like a Scot, yeah I’m hot
 I’ll be leaving with your girlfriend, so thanks a lot!
 I got the pipes, I’ve earned my stripes
 Won't ever settle for less
 Hope it shows you
 Stop your babble
 No place to dabble
 Well now you're here
