A response to a #Writeclub prompt
(poetry purists – it’s a San-san)
“funny bloke”
a poem from inky, based on page 16, line 16 of
“Round Ireland with a Fridge“, by Tony Hawks.
He’d been brought in to warm up the crowd
before the main act began
The audience sat there – some bemused
while other’s shouted – beer fuelled – aloud
“bring on the band” – he wasn’t a fan
six minutes passed – it didn’t go fast
till the audience amused by comic pratfalls – reused
raised cheers from the assembled crowd
indeed they were amused
