The Frugal Scots Bugler - A Vintage Limerick - Ogden Nash

A bugler named Douglas MacDougal
Found ingenious ways to be frugal
He learned how to sneeze
In different keys
Thereby saving the price of a bugle.

And then the king - toasted MacVeetie!

A Pretty Young Girl Named Tess - The Real Loch Ness Monster - Limericks For Children


There was a pretty, young girl named Tess
In Scotland she lived, no less
But she was nasty and mean - 
The worst you have seen
The Monster, she was, of Loch Ness.

Said A Lassie, Whose Name Was Mac Whistle


Said a lassie, whose name was Mac Whistle,
To her laddie "Now sit by this thistle"
Said he " I was ne'er built
To sit down in a kilt!
So I'll stand just a wee while and whistle".

There Was A Young Man Called M'Kie - A Bagpipe Limerick

There was a young man called M'Kie
Who to master the bagpipes did try,
But the neighbors resented,
The music he vented,
And he sleeps in the kirkyard close by.

There Was A Youth Came Frae Scotland

There was a youth came frae Scotland,
And thought himself bonnie and grand;
He said, "Mon, I'm braw,"
But they cried, "Johnny Raw,
Go home with your dirk in your hand."
