I forgot about #scotstober this year. Thanks to @leftpeggers.bsky.social for the list this year.

For the uninitiated - Everyday in October a Scots word is introduced. I write snippets of poetry.

# YOU'D BE FAT AS FUCK IF JAY-Z WAS YOUR PAL

## ROBERT FLORENCE

Imagine you were Jay-Z's pal Up Beyoncé's hoose and that Eating tarka dal. Eating a big takeaway they got Pakora by the poolside Samosas on a boat. Eating this big ice cream that they'd make You couldnae even eat it all You'd give the rest to Drake. And then head to the kitchen with Solange She'd speak about equalities And eat a big blancmange. Then Kanye would turn up with pizza crunch And everybody's stuffed So Jay-Z saves it for his lunch. And then he'd say "We need another portion" Because someone else is hungry It's that greedy shite Frank Ocean Then Jay would start to cry and reminisce About a recent dinner With a friend he'll always miss You'd hear he shared a shepherd's pie with Prince Jay just had the mash on top And Prince just tanned the mince. Imagine you were pals with big Jay-Z You'd end up about 20 stone If you went to his for tea.
