LATEST SCORIE CRY FAE GLOUP :-
GIE WIS CRABS AN GIE WIS MOAR, HAE DEM HERE AFORE DA VOAR
TRY AN BRING DEM TAE DA BOIL, DAN DE'LL NO CONTAMINATE LAEK OIL
WE LAEK DIR SMEEL WE LAEK DEM ROTTEN, IT HELPS MAK' ESSO BERNICIA FORGOTTEN
HE DRIVES A RED SIX WHEELER, THAT'S ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW
ONE NIGHT
HE HAD A MISANTER, AND SPENT DA NIGHT IN DA SNOW
WAS IT BECAUSE HE GOT THE WOOL PULLED OVER HIS EYES AT THE POST OFFICE THAT HE MISSED THE TIME AND THE TIDE THAT DAVID BROWN GOT BOGGED IN AT THE VOE AS THE SEA RUSHT ON THE BEACH?
WITH ADVERSE CONDITIONS HE SPED ALONG BUT TO KEEP HER STRAIGHT IT WAS NO USE. HE KINDA STUMBLED THEN HE THOUGHT, IT WAS EARLY YET TO CAST TO BRUCE.
YOU MAY CON YOUR WAY ALONG THE ROAD AND KEEP THINGS I'DA DARK, YOU SOON FIND THAT WHITE'S NOT BLACK, WANCE YOU'RE I'DA PARK
SO DON'T BE FHUSSY MAN JUST WAIT, GIE WIS TIME TO CONTEMPLATE,
WE'RE LEFT YOU WI' A NASTY TWISTER, ONE TO SOLVE AT KIRKABISTER.
THE WIND WHISTLED IN THE RIGGING, THEY HANDLED HER LIKE A TOY,
THEN BROUGHT US HOME THE NORTH ISLES CUP, NO BAD FOR TWO MANN'S AND A BOY.
IT WAS WITH MIGHTY JOY AND GLEE, SHE WENT TO SEE THE GREAT MAGGEE, IT MUST HAVE BEEN A HECTIC DAY, WITH DINNER SET IN GREAT ARRAY,
THE TALKS THEY MUST HAVE BEEN MOST FREE, FOR SHE CAME HOME UPON DA' SPREE
DID THE OWNER OF THE STRAY BULL TRY TO AVOID THE CONDITIONS OF
BEING DUCKED IN THE BRIG?
HE MAKES HIS DELIVERIES ALL YEAR ROUND, FAE WHISKY DOWN TO PLEDGE. BUT THE NIGHT OF OUR DINNER DANCE HE WAS DELIVERED HOME ON A SLEDGE.
IS IT TRUE THAT THERE ARE DEALERS IN MID-YELL CONVERTING MAXI'S INTO THREE WHEELERS?
IF TO GLOUP YOU HAVE TO GO, BEWARE OF DITCHING A RED VOLVO.
BECAUSE YOU MIGHT NEED A CREW OF MEN, TO GET YOU BACK ON THE ROAD AGAIN.
HE GRABBED HIS BOX AND FOR THE GRITTER RAN, BUT HE COULD NOT GET IT STARTED. HE TOOK A SNUFF I'TA DA' ERT', SAYS DATS DAT BILLIE FARTED.
HE WAS MAKING FOR HOME IN HIS ORANGE CAPRI, STILL CONTINUING THE FESTIVE SPREE, SAID HE I MIGHT HAVE BEEN LAID IN BRUCK, IF I'D HAPPENED TO HIT YON MUCKLE RED TRUCK. BUT HAPPY AM I, I AM IN NO PLIGHT, FOR IT HAD BEEN SHIFTED DURING THE NIGHT.
THE BATTENS LAY HERE, THE BATTENS LAY THERE, WHILE WIR CHIEF MARSHAL TOILED AWAY. HIS WORKMATE SAYS, BOY STICK DU IN, WE'LL FINISH DIS BATHROOM TODAY. BUT HE GOT AN ITCH AN SPED FUR NORTH, AT SIXTY ALL THE WAY, BUT THE NEW BEACHCOMBER WAS THERE FIRST, AND HAD THEM ALL STOWED AWAY.
(A MIXTURE OF SOME MAGNIETUDE)
