I love that song :-)
You've put quite a different spin on the words "mad about" LOL
What a great use of listing with strong illustrative examples
High impact social commentary :-) Brooke

I like this, its so simple, but effective.
The line about blowing up flats and causing arguements with neighbours doesnt seem quite right. - maybe "causing" instead of "cause of" or maybe just add a commar before "cause of"

Ok I read your poem, yeah, it's like my writing, lack of punctuation, what's that? I want to hear the sound to this. At least I can read it and yes, the boy who killed in Norway. Thanks for sharing

    Thanks for your kind review Kina.
    I tried to download the sound, but my computer was getting a funny program, that was difficult to remove.
    If you google: I love the Dinah ... version - itis Jazz, not the earliest one.

Aren't we all mad about the boy! Very good one. Makes you wonder what the world in coming to. Is anyone reading this? I mean *really* reading this?

Just one little edit in the first line:
-I [an] mad about the boy who brings unwanted advertising

There is good rhythm and rhyme to the poem, and a lot said about many things to be angry about. Yes, and when will the boy ever become a man. Thanks for this unique well written poem. I enjoyed it.
