Thank You Hitler, a poem by Jeremy Quinn

Thank You Hitler is a poem by Jeremy Quinn, listed under the author pages of The Wolf. A note beneath it describes Quinn as a co-founder of Radge Poets and as a highly respected London spoken word poet.

The poem is spoken by a boy who runs errands for his uncle, a butcher who scrubs turkeys and chops up cows. He delivers meat by bicycle and flirts with a customer, Mrs Davies, who offers him tea and cake. He declines because he has errands to run, and the poem closes on his wartime ration book antics.
