Sunday Morning, Calcaveros

The rhythm of tides
Poetry of the ocean
Sonnets of the seas

Ebb, flow, to and fro
Rhymes of the ancient marine
God’s eternal verse

Poem 1548

A POEM I SEEM TO HAVE WRITTEN BEFORE … SADLY

Another day, another story
Yet another sleazy Tory
Urgent message – lend a hand
I’m in trouble – send five grand
Yet the irony could not be plainer
As they go after Angela Rayner

The Artist Leaves His Mark
( A Valencia Haiku )

God’s paintbrush testing
Heavenly white on sky blue
Canvas of the earth

Valencia, Good To Be With You Again

The bluest of blue skies
The warm sun on my face
And in this little moment
The world’s a better place

HEAVENLY VENTRILOQUISM

Dawn chorus birdsong
Angels throw their voices down
To greet us daily

Just a train of thought

NO THANKYOU, WILLY WRAGG …

New levels of sleaze so obscene as
These details emerge that demean us
Seedier and seedier
And thanks to the media
We have to consider your penis

There's more chance that Julia Donaldson has done more to help literacy in this country than the billions of pounds spent on imposing systematic synthetic phonics and the phonics screening check on schools.

SELECTIVE PERSPECTIVE

International outrage for seven deaths – justified
But what about the same response for forty thousand others died?

Truly laugh out loud stuff. From the pages of Viz.

Thrilled to be playing support to Steve Wickham at Nantwich Roots this year!

Steve was one of the earliest influences on my playing; when I was a nipper, I would jam to Waterboys classics like “Strange Boat”.

I hope I can do this incredible player justice come May 19th…

DID I MISS THIS ON APRIL 1ST?!

From the woman who had
Forty Five Days
And Couldn’t Do Her Job -
Ten Years To Save The West

And while we’re here
Which editor and publisher
Thought this was a good idea
And this book would sell the best?
