Pish is an actual word and it's definition according to dictionary.com is "an exclamation of impatience or contempt", which in some ways is close to how it would be used by Scottish people although they are not the same word. In fact the Scottish word is slang, probably for 'piss', so it's not an actual word.
Ah, you may be thinking that I'm just talking a load of 'pish' for no reason but the word 'Pish' the actual real word is imitative of the sound you make when showing impatience or contempt and so is pronounced more like 'pshh'. So it's very much like other imitative words that express disdain or contempt like 'phfft'.
Basically what I'm saying is that it fucks up the rhyme because when you write 'pish' it is technically the 'pshh' word because the Scottish slang word doesn't really exist. And although it's close as a rhyme it's not exact.
If I'd never looked it up none of us would have been any the wiser and it would work perfectly well, so you can just pretend I never said anything, or you can just ignore what I've said anyway (I wouldn't blame you in the slightest), or I suppose you could just spell it differently and invent a new word.
Hope it hasn't complicated things too much, it's right boxed my head so I'm going for a lie down.
