HAPPY NEW YEAR! I’ve been thinking about first-footing, as doubtless you have. For a few years now I’ve called to mind one of Andrew Rudd’s wonderful poems at the outset of new year:
.
God
doesn’t have to knock
uses the front door key
doesn’t check how clean the house is
knows how to use the kettle
and where the spoons go
washes up
is content to sit
and chat about issues
of no importance
or just be quiet
