There was a young man of Montrose
Who wasn't a very good poet.
The first line was OK
The second was dubious
And after that it just fell apart entirely.

Indeed. It begs the question why Montrose?

If you like surrealistic jokes with a Scottish flavour
try this one:
Name three fish that begin and end with K.

Netiquette dictates than one of you must say
"I give up" before I reveal the answer.

Killine Kleg Kylling

Slink Gornack Haddock

You didn't specifically say it had to be the same ones that started and ended in "K".

Traditional limericks are frequently about coupling, but I do believe this puts a new spin on that aspect of the genre.

An oldie and a (mathematical) bawdy, not due to me:

A mathematician name Hall,
Had a hexahedronical ball,
The cube of its weight,
Times the square root of eight,
Was four-fifths of five-eighths of f***-all.

That's easy - if you're Norwegian:

Koljefisk (Haddock)

Krøklefisk (Smelt)

Kveitefisk (Halibut)

Where do I go to claim my prize of a haggis?

Shark, haddock, pollock. Nothing said they have to begin with k, only they have to begin!
