So the situation's this -
I met this girl last night.
She was standing at the bar
and she looked alright.
I knew straight away
she was the girl for me
I’d like to take her for a Nandos
or a KFC.

I had a vision of her smiling
as I stole a chip
before I proper won her heart
with a bottle flip.          

Mr Wespieser commented;
“I did a performance poem (the subject of National Poetry Day was 'Messages') about a boy who meets a girl and doesn't know how to win her over, so texts his mates for help, gets advice, and then eventually wins her heart.

Because I was in character i dressed as a kind of 'street' individual. I wanted to tap into things that the boys like - hence Nandos, KFC and bottle flipping (it's a craze at the moment).“
