A lot of modern poetry is too hard to understand,
it has become too complicated for the uninitiated or casual reader.
These poems are by an ordinary bloke, for ordinary folk. © Chris Daws

Ask me for a demo
He's got 'ask me for a demo' on his T-shirt
and he has a little script he has to say
But he's getting very tired and his feet hurt
from hanging round the shopping mall all day
He will try to catch your eye for just a moment
and a moment's all he's got to set his hook
for he knows that all his arguments most cogent
won't mean a thing if you don't stop and look
So the trick to be successful in your shopping
is to ignore the very presence of that man
for if you and he connect you'll end up stopping
and your shopping schedule will go down the pan
