This etching is inspired by illustrations in my mum's ancient copy of Arabian Nights

Fibi and Ems: London and Manchester, United Kingdom; Way back in the day, two young misfits sat

On a desk in their classroom, and started to chat.

They spoke about dinosaurs, hat pins and shoes,

And each thought the other was totally cool.

They planned out wild adventures across the world,

Where cutlasses clashed and moustachios twirled,

Rich husbands were won then dispatched post haste

To fund our addiction to stickers and cakes.

We'd run through the streets waving red umbrellas,

Start Mexican knife fights with interesting fellas,

Film kooky films and write wondrous rhymes,

Climb onto tables and swig bottles of wine.

But once in their twenties, things went askew:

They had to get jobs and find pastures new.

Fi moved up North, where they eat chips and curry,

While Em went to London, where they're all in a hurry.

The girls were determined no distance would stop

Them talking nonsense - so began Polkadot

Productions; a place of banter and glee.

We hope you enjoy it! Love Emma and Fi
