I met a man who told me that his name was George Lewis
In the Cafe Lea charity shop this afternoon
I was looking for a set of forks with ivory handles
This man smelt vaguely of the farm which surprised me
As one does not find many farms in area of Kings X
He asked me if I was a poet a question which I found direct
I said that yes I did write poetry but whether I was a poet or not was open to opinion
He handed me a slip of paper which too smelt of the farm
It contained a poem written in Welsh which was an advantage as I spoke a little Welsh
It was called Trespass (Tremasu )
Translated it read
What is worse than a in my town
With a chip on his shoulder
Why do you say that George ?
Because I like fish and chips
And if one is stationed on a shoulder
Then there is one less for me
George asked me if i liked the poem (I did)
And told me that he was visiting London
Just to find me in the Cafe Lea
He further informed me
That he had been born in a small village
Next to the sea in a remote part of Anglesey
