Dual Porpoise Cards

I am de-clogging the loft ahead of me developing geriatric tendencies and I came across an old product I produced when working with artist Jim Harker,  an old school friend. It was a card back to attach to a fine art print to make it into a greeting card. There was a range of sensible sentiments and then there was this one. It is in the Geordie lingo so see what you make of it

Aa was ganna send ye a pictia
Of some gadgie in the toon

Staggerin' and caallin' for Hughie

Havin' supped several Broon

Fower pints of Fed

And a Courage (by mistake)

Followed by two kebabs and a vindaloo

And some chips in stotty cake

Such a technocolour yawn

Wi' diced carrots in the mixture

Ah think ye'll agree

Would mek a colourful pictia

But that up on yer loonge waall

Wadn't mek ye ower keen

And it's a canny bit more nicer

To hev a propa local scene

I'm not sure this will mean anything to anyone but at least it's preserved for posterity. Any remaining card backs and much else of my past are now in the bin. It is very cathartic this loft de-clogging
