How difficult is it to poach an egg

I rate poached eggs somewhere between Ryan Gosling and free late checkouts  at hotels. ie, very highly. But only if they can do it properly. Why is it so difficult to get decent poached egg? Or eggs benny for that matter. Half the time they are solid (whats the point of a non-runny poached egg?! For the love of god) I've even had a few that tasted of vinegar, which is the home made cheats way of poaching eggs and not one I would pay 9 sodding pounds 99 for THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Anyway. As a result.
