You don't need to be a "poetry buff" to appreciate the verses contained in this book. All that's required is experience of this varied and sometimes extraordinary life we all share. Humour, tragedy, nonsense, grief, joy - these are all things we encounter as we make our way through our time here on Earth. There are times when we feel the need to get together with a friend and chill out. It's good to know that others share the same frustrations, delights, depressions, triumphs, disasters - and, sometimes, we just want to have a laugh. So why not take a look inside? Join me as I browse through life's ins and outs and ups and downs - some of it serious, some of it, well... just plain ridiculous! When all's said and done, we're all in this together!
