The object’s story
Object Description

Transcription
At Gaiety Theatre, Methil; where
The wail of bag-pipes rends the air
Give this to Geordie Lackie there;
That STAR Comedian;
His slogans all your nerves will jag
And when he plays the tunes called “RAG”
Just take a knife & slit his bag
My word! you’ll need yin.
