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

T-Shirt
I was puzzling out the slogan
that was printed on her T-shirt
half concealed by hair and handbag
when so suddenly my head hurt
for my girlfriend had just hit me
as a punishment for staring
although I was only looking
at the words the girl was wearing
which were more than slightly cryptic
and were causing me confusion
but my harmless concentration
had just earned me a contusion
so my lesson for today is
that a message on a T-shirt
should be glanced at really quickly
and that staring makes your head hurt
