SOWSNEK PO GORDIREK?ENGLISH OR CONTINENTAL?
Pol Hodgetrans. Pol Hodge (from Cornish)
Yn Kembra i a dheber hansel friys leun.
Yn Iwerdhon Gledh i a dheber fri Ulster.
Mes omma yn Kernow, herdh-vegys on gans
- Hansel Leun Sowsnek, plasennas estren leun

rag hanter kenedhel.

My re dhybris lowr a'gas yeth vlonek
ha'n gwythi a'm brys yw tegys-kolesterol
ow kortos an omsettyans kolonn yethek.
In Wales they eat a full fried breakfast.
In Northern Ireland they eat Ulster fry.
But here in Cornwall, we are force fed with
- a full English breakfast, a full foreign plateful

for a half nation.

I have eaten enough of your greasy language
and with the veins of my mind cholesterol-choked
await the linguistic heart attack.
