012 • The sporran
Leaving Troon for some tropical place
Feeling shy on account of my race.
So as not to look foreign
I’ll sport a huge sporran
And draw people’s eyes from my face.
An issue that, regrettably, afflicts all travellers and outsiders. The sporran is a kind of oversized ornamental furry purse that puts any wearer, or viewer, in mind of some ungainly marsupial.

I laughed out loud at this one!
Hi Piffle,
Thanks for laughing (especially out loud), but do spare a thought for the self-conscious thousands upon whom the brainwave of a ‘sporran decoy’ (or similar) has yet to dawn.
