I Know I Was Mucking Around With Poetry In My Previous Post But This Poet Completely Took Me By Surprise And I Am Actually Quite A Fan Of His Poetry Now It's Something That I Can Relate To And Understand Completely

I'm talking about none other than Ewan Mcteagle.

Here are a few excerpts from his works:

 If you could see your way to lending me sixpence

I could at least buy a newspaper

That's not much to ask anyone

But my favourite is this poem he wrote for his friend Lassie O'Shen:

 'To Ma Own beloved Lassie

 A poem on her 17th Birthday

 Lend us a couple of bob till Thursday

 I'm absolutely skint

 But I'm expecting a postal order 

and I can pay you back as soon as it comes

Love,

Ewan.

Then there is "Can I Have Fifty Pounds To Mend The Shed?" which was adopted into a play:

Can I have fifty pounds to mend the shed?

I'm right on my uppers.

I can pay you back

When this postal order comes from Australia.

Honestly.

Hope the bladder trouble's getting better.

Love, Ewan

Play adaptation

One of the lesser known work is: 

 Oh give to me a shillin' for some fags 

and I'll pay yet back on Thursday, 

but if you can wait till Saturday 

I'm expecting a divvy from the Harpenden Building Society...

For those of you who are interested in his other works, here is a list of all the famous ones:

1. 'My new cheque book hasn't arrived' 

2. 'What's twenty quid to the bloody Midland Bank?'

3. 'Can you lend me one thousand quid?' ( his prizewinning poem to the Arts Council)
