After getting us through Key Stage 2 poetry with the help of the other three members of Aisle 16: Poetry Boyband, Luke Wright has decided to go it alone.

But instead of spoofing the careers of Ronan Keating or Bryan McFadden, to whom he bears more than a passing resemblance, Luke has gone all Robbie Williams on us, getting serious about his poetry.

With a title to guarantee great press cuttings, Luke Wright, Poet Laureate is his bid to become the next Andrew Motion.

But more than that he wants to reform the role of "The Queen's personal rat-catcher".

Backed up by a PowerPoint-style presentation complete with cartoons to keep the illiterate masses amused, his show was an hour-long party political broadcast in his campaign to become the voice of the people.

Poems such as his Ode to Cigarettes, in which he becomes addicted to bragging about quitting, showed he is in touch with the issues of the day, while Truely, Madeley, Deeply won the youth vote.

However, One Night of Spending, about the IKEA riot, and his Olympic bid seemed a little out of date and even irrelevant.

Moreover, surely a boy from Braintree in Essex should know the Edmonton store riot was not a "war among the middle classes".

Still, most of his writing was inspired ("let's teach poetry to strangle Purple Ronnie until he's purple") and even when out of date, packed a punch.

As the only living (professional) poet I know, Luke, you've got my vote.
