It can't possibly be one of the slang definitions, far too early anyway. Is it possible he made it up for effect?

The only rhyme we know about crows is for sowing beans - one for the mouse, one for the crow, one to rot and one to grow. (i.e. sow 4x as many as you need), but we love crows dearly and miss the crows that visited our garden in UK. We counted them among our friends.Tigger's Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15829665785202495073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-84610735765048706492021-03-02T08:22:46.566+00:002021-03-02T08:22:46.566+00:00Having ahd a quick look at some teaching notes for...Having ahd a quick look at some teaching notes for Clare, it seems that sosh means to plunge suddenly - although to suddenly take flight seems more appropriate :)Mrs Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17014776821719176925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-86676241055319414312021-03-02T07:47:22.069+00:002021-03-02T07:47:22.069+00:00I have a lot of time for John Clare.

I tried to find a definition of sosh, but my Concise Oxford Dictionary didn't have it and Dr Google just had a) a Co-op (Scottish) b) social or c) social security number. None of those seem to fit! As I read it I can imagine their startled flight, so that's what I'm going with! xxhappy hookerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06895402170116525521noreply@blogger.com
