Poem: Today we have incising of potatoes (Ode to TGM*)

'Today we have incising of potatoes...'

by Damian Entwistle 13th February 2026

Today we have incising of potatoes. Yesterday,
we had chopping of onions, garlic, and peppers.
After Meeting for Worship, we shall have shared lunch and then washing up.
But now, before Meeting, we have incising of potatoes.
Miles Davis weaves a necklace of seductive notes via the Bluetooth speaker,
and we have incising of potatoes.
