Loop

I’m no in the Loop
I’m in the Soup
In fact I’m in the Gloop.

Bowls

Will I catch Ebola fae BOOLS?
Naw, a wee spider might run up yir breeks
Or a midgey bite yir ear.

Solo Moon

A man called SOLOMON
played Solitaire by the licht o’ the solo moon
but he lost all his sovereigns
playing pinochle with himself alone
so he’s baled oot and went home alone.
