There was an ugly damp patch on our wall

I had managed to dry it out

But it had left a visible mark

So we decided to cover it with a poster

A poster from the inter-war years

That evening Michelle came around for supper

She had brought us a housewarming gift

A vintage petrol poster dating from the nineteen thirties

It was a perfect gift and made the wall much brighter

Jane kissed Michelle lightly on the cheek

Thank you for the lovely poster Shell

I said with a hint of obvious humour
