You've watched my work in your millions <br />every year without fail, as <br />I'm on the screen so frequently; <br /> <br />and yet few know my face; <br />that's how I'd like it: <br />do your job, go watch the game... <br /> <br />there's some doubt whether I do this <br />just for love; or whether money <br />changes hands in some offshore account; <br />or indeed, whether I'm a conspiracy <br />involving the better-known; <br /> <br />the less known, the better, is what I say; <br />who wants the dread words 'product placement' <br />bandied around this hallowed turf.. <br /> <br />but yes, you've guessed it: <br />I'm the guy you never see <br />who turns the labels on the Robinson's bottles <br />(once of barley-water fame, in the days <br />before 'probiotic liquid supplements') <br />to face the TV camera.. <br /> <br />my service never faults.<br /><br />Michael Shepherd<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/wimbledon-s-unsung-hero/
