Waiting For You Poem by Dave Dunn

'Never mind the quality, just feel the width'
Good enough for the spivs, but I think I'll give it a miss
For giving of our best is the forward way to think
And so I try to do my best with this paper and this ink
Maybe if you spot the odd mistake and take me then to task
I'll listen, think, digest it all, not turn to seek a cask
But perfection isn't always reached by grammar on its own
Sometimes to achieve the effect desired I might inject a groan
Just to make folks stop and think beyond the bare words on display
So perhaps before you turn to me read again my words of clay
Scan those lines once more and seek another point of view
Double meanings or phonetic play may be waiting there for you.......
