An Ode to Dave Trott
Trott.
Let’s hope the riffraff don’t misbehave
First time we met, we weren’t feeling brave
But now we can’t wait, a copywriting rave
Creating a Trans-Atlantic Mexican wave
Thousands of students he will enslave
With his distaste for the cliche phrase
From vanilla advertising he will save
So bring on tomorrow, a giant brain wave
Livesteam please please behave
If not — we have dug our own grave.

Writes little. Says a lott.
Short sentences. Master of the full stopp.
Singeing paper with words searingly hott.
Tomorrow has my stomach in knotts.
The culmination of a month-long plott.
Let’s hope he’s not forgott.
2.30 pm. On the dott.
