FAITH OF A SCOTSMAN
On the first day, God created heather and Scotland
And the rest of the earth apparently as an afterthought
And on the second day he divided the waters
From the superior whiskey we’ve so often bought
On the third day God created trees and fine herbs
From which temptation’s apple so readily grew
And on the fourth day he created the housefly
For it seems he had nothing much better to do
On the fifth day God created weeds and the Irish
So we could curse him freely without hurting our conscience
And for some reason he created fruits and vegetables
Which forever in our heart has made absolutely no sense
And on the sixth day, God created woman
From our tired abdomen on to a pain in the rear-end
But on the seventh day he fashioned that leaf called tobacco. . .
And now the Scotsman believes that God is his friend
