The author was a well known Obstetrician and Gynaecologistr in Edinburgh who died in retirement in 1941. "Outside his profession Dr. Fordyce had many interests. He was a keen fisherman and golfer, and enjoyed curling. His turn for the writing of light verse was well known to a wide circle of friends, and he often sang or recited his own compositions at medical and other dinners. Of these he was persuaded to publish privately a selection in a small volume entitled "The Old Sport and Other Verses" (B.M.J. Obituary). "A mightyt fish," I said, "is this", 'Twas perfect rapture, perfect bliss; with knocking knees I held him tight."
