    I always read the scots version first and must admit I had no idea what 'beadles crack fitbaw' was...

    I like Devikas comment...

    Clay, sports, sadness - there are mnay things to dig every day. There is always something at the end of living. In the majority of cases ... it is a wooden case. Great haiku, great sound in the gaelic one.

    Best wishes
    Ralf
