Not all these people are current members,
but they've all played a large part in our
group over the years. And yes, they have
all read their own verses!
Our secretary bird, Cathy Hol,
(Not your obvious choice for a moll)
Loves to lie on her back
Making whoopee with Jack,
So he thinks she's a real living doll!
Christina, she's written a book,
And she lets all her friends have a look,
We all thought it was funny
And said to her, 'Honey,
'To publish it, who did you have to sleep with?'
Christine is our soberest star.
You never see her have a jar.
Though she claims she won't stray,
At the end of each day
She goes home in a different car!
And now we have Dawn and Irene,
Separated they rarely are seen.
When Dawn fancied a bloke,
Irene started to joke,
'Put him down, you don't know where he's been!'
There was a young lady called Hilda
Whose fantasy was Bob The Builda.
She hammered and screwed
To keep up with this dude,
And the exercise bloody near kilda!
Jean Clifford's a well travelled lass,
Who'll never get put out to grass.
But her weird view on history's
A bit of a mystery,
She's a regular pain in the ass!
A good friend of ours called June
Thought living alone was a boon.
But while acting the fool
She fell into her pool,
And it's only cleaned once a blue moon.
There's a lass in our group called Louise,
Unlike all the rest, she's Chinese.
Though the lingo's a barrier,
We don't like to harry her,
'Cos her writing's a bit of a breeze!
An old friend of ours called Nancy
Knows betting on horses is chancy.
She came home in a barrel,
Having lost her apparel
When she bet all her cash on Jim's Fancy!
It's Rita's turn. Rita, come forth,
A fine looking lass from the North.
We all have quite a game
Trying to utter her name.
She pronounces it something like Horth!
Now Tony's a tightwad, it's true,
Won't spend cash, unlike me and you.
He doesn't spend much
On housekeeping and such,
But he'll spring for a Guinness or two!
When Val writes her bush poetry,
She invokes so much envy in me,
I could scream 'til I'm blue
'Cos it all sounds so true,
And she makes it all seem too easy!
MY PERSONAL "CV"
|
| Me at book launch promotion |
I was included in the first anthology from our group, simply called "Creative Corners Anthology". I collected
my Star Trek stories and poems into a volume which I called "Trekking Time", purely for my own pleasure, and that
of a few close friends and fellow members.
1999: I published my book "Sex In Later Life", a collection of all my own short stories and poems. was included
in the book Galloping On,in issues X and XII.
I was included in the second, larger, anthology from our group, entitled "Pieces of Eight". The group has recently
published its third anthology, "Music Of The Mind", to which I have contributed a dozen of my stories and poems.
Currently, I'm hopefully producing enough work for another private collection of my poems and stories, as yet untitled.
I have now had my autobiography "Growing up
in Bradford" published.
