A winter tale of Olie who barters his soul with the devil for flawless curling. He wins every game and reaches the Brier but falters in his first matches. The fiend recalls the bargain, predicting a grim afterlife as Olie and his team confront defeat and mythic consequences.
A spirited tune titled She Bonspiel-Shipsea parodies a curling draw. It ridicules a match committee for fixing the draw, lamenting bad curlers and calling for the chairman’s punishment while venting sharp humor about the selection process.
A whimsical verse recounts the origins of curling in Scotland with Big Jock McKay as a robber figure. A boy named Roy and Josh pursue, while Jock loses his sword, crosses a frozen loch, and sinks, as spectators from shore skim stones at his ball, celebrating the enduring sport.
