if haggis is as haggis does  
then one must simply say because  
there aren't any rules or laws  
that say you can't  
(though decency demands a clause --  
ok I shan't)

and so I open up my jaws  
to ridicule and to applause  
and then a gulp of scotch, no straws  
and as they chant --  
I hear their laughter and guffaws  
but can't recant
