As a slight footnote to David's posting of this poem (on p. 37 of IntV), as
not everyone may know, "speshiz" (actually, it's "speshlz") refers to
Carslberg Special, a form of strong lager which came (comes) in cans and is
much favoured in Glasgow.
The poem is republished from the pamplet "Bunnit Husslin" (Third Eye, 1975).
The cover has one of Tom's characteristic stick-men drawings with the
balloon caption [tramslation], "You mean deliberately purveying a cloth-cap
image?"
