![]() Willie Carr the strong man of Blyth Read about him |
"What is a Geordie", I've heard people ask. To give a definition is not an easy task. Some say that he's a heathen, growing leeks an supping beer, But if you read on a while I'll give you my idea. When God first made the universe his handywork was grand. He made a man of every creed to cultivate each land. He made Eskimos for Iceland, Africans to stand the heat. But when it came to Geordieland He said :"Why man, I''m beat"! So he made a man of iron, with muscles of forged steel, For hewing coal and building ships- a job he's done so real. And just to finish off the job, or so I have been told, He completed his first Geordie, by giving him a heart of gold. Author unknown - but obviously a wise Geordie |
