Raincoat

Walking down Rundle Mall
Wearing my new raincoat
Up I go and open coat
Do you want a ........
And off they walk
This is no good
I'm being ignored
I'll try this young lady
Excuse me miss
And I open my coat
And away she is going
This is sad, this is bad
Not the response I'm expecting
I'll try once more
This nice old lady
Again I open raincoat
And start my spiel
Why yes young man
She quickly answers
What sort of poems
Are you selling

About this poem:

Why you dirty minded people, I bet you thought something else. A poet has to make a living somehow LOL

I thought I saw you the other day selling your poetry in Rundle Mall. Thought I'd go up and say hello. When he opened his raincoat I saw that it was not poems he was selling.
