Boneshakers & bagpipers! ...The training begins!
Okay, you guys asked for it! Don't say I didn't warn you....


I served in the Navy, a plankowner aboard the USS BOSTON (SSN-703) Decommissioned in 1999 and scrapped in 2002. Now I find myself in the unique cradle-to-grave position of helping to care for its remains at the Buffalo & Erie County Naval & Military Park. All that really remain are the sail and rudder shipped here in 2003 along with a few cleats. I feel like I'm caring for a vessel that met a premature and untimely demise. Now I care for her remains. ...Sort of.

Arrrrgh! Laddie, dinna you ken the fact that me sporrran was hangin' a wee bit low because I only had six minutes to get in tae my kilt! I canna teel' ya' how much thacght whole ootfit cost me!
I'd only had the pipes a week when I was on stage, but once I got the drones tuned and playin' and blowin' it was soundin' mighty fine hearin' the skirlin' o' the pipes, until I started playin' the chanter! Owww!
A lot o' Folks will tell ye' a kilt
Is not the thing tae wear,
If fact, they'll say a kilt is oot o' date,
Well, I have got ma' reasons,
Fer wearin' one and so,
I'll tell ye' if you only care to wait!
I used to wear a pair o' breeks before I took a wife,
But after I'd been wed a week or three,
I sold my troosers, bought this kilt, the reason was because,
I'll explain it if you listen noo tae me;
Ev'ry nicht I used to hing my troosers up
On the back o' the bedroom door.
I ken the day, I must have been a jay!
I never hing them up any more;
For the wife she used to ramble thro' my pooches
When I was fast asleep aneath the quilt;
In the mornin' when I woke,
I was always stony broke,
That's the reason noo I wear a kilt.
I never would have found her oot, but one nicht I cam' hame.
I was feelin' very queer aboot the head;
I soon was in the land o' dreams, but when I woke at 3 a.m.
And there she was a standin' up in bed.
She said "Hush-weesh! be quiet! there's burglars! dinna mak' a fuss!
I'm feelin's in your pooches for a gun."
I don't ken if she was or not, but all I ken is this,
There was naethin' in those pooches when she'd done.
Ev'ry nicht I used to hing my troosers up
On the back o' the bedroom door.
I ken the day, I must have been a jay!
I never hing them up any more;
For the wife she used to ramble thro' my pooches
When I was fast asleep aneath the quilt;
In the mornin' when I woke,
I was always stony broke,
That's the reason noo I wear a kilt!!
