Pedestrian crossings can often cause an unhinged moment when a shopper, student, silver surfer or goofball (like me) arrive at them, wondering whether to press the button or take a chance on scampering across without pausing to follow the expected procedure. Could be a British thing, or maybe most people’s minds are pondering when the next DIY Poets gig might be. The latter is more likely. Unwittingly, DIY Poets can make a major contribution to road safety by revealing early doors when and where the verse will be spoken:

The featured poet Martin Grey is fresh from field studies in phonetics, punnery and one liners. He cruises through a diverse range of subjects, look out for his bread poem, he may try to sandwich it in somewhere. Grey’s anatomy of verse has the legs to make it a kicking night of rhyme (or free verse as the case may be).

And to complete a ‘safe’ night of entertainment, Pegefo and Marita provide the music.
