I’m happy in bed with my little ted,All cosy warm and toasty.Then I go out look up at the world,People look at me Read more

  • Pagans Christmas.

    Us non believers, we have to do something this time of year, so we celebrate the end of days getting shorter, and the beginning of days getting longer. So I’ve had a bit of fun with that, but then I’ve written a short verse, about the ridiculous situation we are in, where people feel compelled Read more

  • Shopping List For a Better World.

    I seem to suffering from on complete lapse in concentration. So here is my naive shopping shopping list. PEACE Pop (All the mega rich peoples bubbles)Eggs (Just the good eggs, not the bad ones)Aspirin (To get rid of this Putinous headache)Chicken (All the armies should be)Egos (We should get rid of them) Apparently, egos are Read more

  • Sing Me a Song.

    This is a subject that fascinates me. My theory is I was lucky, I was born in the mid 50s, so I grew up in the 60s and 70s. It is possible that I was protected from it but I don’t remember the all pervading aggression and violence that dominates the media now. It’s everywhere, Read more

  • I’m Not An Old Man, I am A Man That is Old.

    Most certainly not ! Last year I was struggling with the aging process, after four years of the building of the Bentley model diversion, it was like I was waking up four years older, but going from my 60s into my 70s made it worse. Just getting used to that then my burns accident kind Read more

  • I’m An Alien In My Own World.

    Ok so I have my problems, depression, anxiety and I’m borderline autistic, but this doesn’t stop me being a social person, at least for the last few years anyway. If you had suggested ten years ago I would be standing reciting my own poetry to a crowd, I would have run a mile. Why are Read more

  • Are You a Man or a Chicken?

    What cities do I want to visit ? That’s like asking a free range chicken, what battery farms she wants to holiday at. I don’t like cities, they are a necessary evil though in this distorted world we live in. Generally they are dirty, overcrowded and breed violence as everyone fights for their little space.

  • Deadly Fungus.

    This isn’t me I’ve written about, but you all know him, her or one of their kind, there’s enough of them out there to go round. Shades of Dylan here again and possibly a bit of Woody Guthrie. I started off thinking of Guthrie’s “Mean Talking Blues” I’m always afraid of plagiarism though, so ended Read more

  • He Not Busy Being Born Is Busy Dying.

    I love that line “He Not Being Born Is Busy Dying” from Bob Dylan’s “It’s alright Ma I’m Only bleeding” from the album Bringing It All Back Home” There’s a hint of Dylan in my verses third line also “ Try imagining a place where it’s always safe and warm, come in she said I’ll Read more

  • An Emerging Talent.

    Last night I did my second open mike night, and this one did actually have a mike, the first didn’t. That didn’t mean I used it properly though. I’ve a long way to go yet. I’m both tired from last night, and a day fighting tech for application of a heat pump installation. Then preparing Read more
