I liked this Tom for as Keith says there's an underlying story to it.

Keith and Frances thank you for the comments. I have always wondered if there were others out there who felt the same. A long time ago now, though.

Thank you Jon and Mika for the likes too. P.S. Frances thanks for sharing on your blog, I'll post it to mine in the next few days.

Tom,

This poem has a special quality to it because there is an underlying story. It is not some visit to a tourist shop where customers are assailed by a nebulous variety of goods but a personal encounter which is so well brought to light and clearly described.

Thank you for this

Keith

The inspiration for this one came from another poet's poem on this site back in November. I'm really curious to see if they spot the (admittedly tangential) connection.
