Greetings.  Jane here.  This is my first peek into this site.  It's very
interesting.  Just wondering if anyone could do a 1)blacksmith?  or a
2)Scotsman?  or maybe a 3) Scottish blacksmith?  (my husband has been
known to hammer in a kilt.  Thanks.  Be of good cheer.

Thanks Colin! 

But on looking back at the original request, I see that Jane's husband's name 
is James and have made the appropriate alteration. (with apologies to James 
for adding the "ie" at the end of his name -so the poem will still scan)

Ah yes...but I quoted the original authentic version of the song
" Donald Where's Your Troosers " recorded by Andy Stewart with the
White Heather Club in the 1960's.
