So Danger Dave, ( one of the great head chefs) messaged me to ask if I could write something about a homeless Welsh Crack smoker in Reading, someone he knows and gives assistance to, I at first told him, in about a week, when are you going? his answer, I'll be there in an hour, anyway he dropped me a few details and the result.

5 minute poetry.

Homeless in Reading?
what a dump
not exactly Wapping
or Caernarvon,

but get yer skates on
there's a special on
crack *******

oh no
****'s done it again
blown all his giro to
pull smoke through a biro.

I suggested a beer
he said,
no ******* fear
drink's bad for you

Danger Dave is out to save
but Dave is always saving someone
or cooking up something
or just being ******* fabulous.

Nero's near,
Romans ain't arf queer
but their coffee's okay

**** calls it a day
in Gaelic and
I can't understand a word
of it.
