WHO?

 When I say Allan Ahlberg,
 People say, "Who?"

 Then I say "Well, I like him, don't you?"
 People say, "Who ....?"

 I say "He's a poet"
 People say, "When?"

 I say, " I first heard him back in the late Eighties"
 People say, "Oh, then!"

 I say, "Heard it in the Playground"
 People say, "You must be younger than you look!"

 I say, "No, that's the name of his book!"
 People say, "Never heard of it!"

 I say, "Haven't ..... YOU ? "
