Literary Research
Historical fiction -
that's where it's at.
Quite fancy writing
about Roman Britain.
A native kid, say,
growing up
in the shadow
of the legions.
I describe
an imagined feast
to my pal,
who pulls me up short.
"They didny hae tatties
in Roman times.
They're fae America,
ken?"
And I'm grateful,
but I'll struggle to base
a bestselling trilogy
on an absence of potatoes.
