I think this place has developed entirely too much angst...

[Chas]

There's a little black spot on my apron today
It's the same old thing as yesterday
There's a black glengarry caught in a high tree top
There's a lost fly plaid blowing and the wind won't stop

I have stood here sad and feeling incomplete
Surrounded by angry sheep with threatening bleats
All I want to do is look nice and neat
But it's my destiny to wear angst ridden pleats

There's a little black spot on my apron today
That's my kilt over there
It's the same old tartan as yesterday
That's my kilt over there
There's a black glengarry caught in a high tree top
That's my kilt over there
There's a lost fly plaid blowing and the wind won't stop
That's my kilt over there

I I have stood here sad and feeling incomplete
Surrounded by angry sheep with threatening bleats
All I want to do is look nice and neat
But it's my destiny to wear angst ridden pleats

There's a kilt pin fallen down a high cliff wall
That's my kilt over there
There's a tear in my under apron that’s been there since Fall
That's my kilt over there
There was an unbelievable big sale going on at Scot Web
That's my kilt over there
But I missed it and now my spirits ebb
That's my kilt over there

I have stood here sad and feeling incomplete
Surrounded by angry sheep with threatening bleats
All I want to do is look nice and neat
But it's my destiny to wear angst ridden pleats

There's a Moderator online but it looks like he is out
There's a kiltie who’s looking good but filled doubt
There’s a magnificent sporran I want in a brand new thread
There's an empty wallet that holds only the tears I shed

angst ridden pleats

angst ridden pleats
angst ridden pleats
angst ridden pleats
I'll always have
angst ridden pleats
angst ridden pleats


(With apologies to our fellow kilt wear Sting)

Is there a hidden meaning, that I am not seeing, Jamie?

[MacLowlife]

What exactly IS your day job, Panache? I think I'd hold onto it a little while longer, just in case the songwriting doesn't work out.

In spite of my rage, I'm still just a kilt in a cage.

[HarborSpringsPiper]

Clever!

[pdcorlis]

Sting? Is that you?

[Bugbear]

How about something from Simon and Kiltfunckle.

[WClarkB]

There once was a kilt-wearing poet
who rhymed and metered, then wrote it
He showed wit and pazzaz,
for him nothing would faze
(though a bit o'er the top, doncha know it)

[KFCarter]

If I remember correctly, that song was a big hit for the Kilt Police a few years back.

[Alan H]

gets a chuckle over Panache's wild lyrics liberties...

[Smayniac]

we're happy to see you're still with us Alan.

[MacLowlife]

great poetry at a new thread started by KFCarter- and yes, I have to admit Panache's falls into that category, too.
