They mashed it. <br />He cut it in tiny bits. <br />They took a plane. <br />But he took the bus. <br />They headed south for the sun. <br />He went to Alaska <br />and had much more fun. <br />They played the stock market <br />but he just had cash. <br />They were so unhappy <br />when the markets <br />they crashed. <br />They bought the latest, designer clothes. <br />He had holes in his socks for his toes. <br />He sat on the sidewalk <br />when it poured with the rain. <br />They huddled inside <br />with coffee, and sat, and complained. <br />They bought the latest plasma TV. <br />He watched the news on the box <br />in the windows of the high street shops. <br />They said he was 'a bit strange'. <br />He went for a walk <br />and never came back <br />the man with no umbrella or hat.<br /><br />David Taylor<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-man-with-no-umbrella/
