Biography

Hi there. I was directed to come here by a bloke in a pub. He said it was better than drinking. It's certainly cheaper - and I haven't vomited or had a headache yet. It looks really good based on what I've seen thus far anyway. I just play around with rhymes to be honest. Nothing highbrow or sophisticated at all. Mainly based on what I've seen over the many years that I have been clinging to this rock named Earth. Who needs TV when it's happening all around you?

Facebook How do I know my cousin’s daughter’s boyfriend loves Tex-Mex? Because he tells us via Facebook that he’s spilled some on his kecks He’s checked-in from Chiquito’s – just passed his driving test He’s with his best pal, big daft Al, who’s had a tattoo on his chest. These days my head gets filled with nonsense posted on Facebook Marie from forty three’s just posted up some gobbledygook And Jane from out in Spain got drunk on Sunday with her mum But hubby Ken, had to stay at home – citing Spanish tum I’ve nothing to buy, nothing to swap and definitely nowt to sell But maybe I could flog that thing we bought outside Cartmel? On second thoughts forget it, it’s somewhere in the shed I’m sure it’s behind some damp deckchairs and my grandma’s old bedstead Hacks, advice, get stuff half-price; my mind is in a spin I now know how to make Mai Tai and what glass to put it in I no longer need a corkscrew to open up my wine They say a shoe will do, that’s weird - can’t think of a punch line….. I suppose I should pack it all in, and break up with Facebook Spend my spare time, while I’m in my prime, improving my outlook But then again, if I did that, and sorted odds and ends I’d never see what you had for tea, and I’d lose a thousand friends!
