Here's the first Beatcroft Social of 2018, 'Take Fresh Heart'. Almost an hour and a half of quite good music, desultory ramblings and the occasional nostalgic rant. The Spotify playlist. And a poem.
HOT POTATOES
I lack
Shetland Black
But Edzell Blues
Or Maris Pipers
Will do
Within
The skin
Still flecked with soil
Lie tuberous joys
To boil
Or roast
But most
in Scotland fry
So hearts fail
Millions die
The earth
Gives birth
To maize and wheat
To fowl and fish
All kinds of meat
Rice
Is nice
Jasmine, Basmati
But my spirit yearns
For tatties
