Hello everybody

Anyone want to borrow a comfort zone? I have stepped out of mine. I'm standing up, on my hind legs, all by myself for my first ever stand-up poetry show, Slightly Wrong, at the Guildford Fringe Festival in July.

I thought it was a good idea at the time.

Anyway, if any of you poetical reprobates are near Guildford on 16 July 2016 and in the vicinity of The Star Inn, Quarry St, then please come and cheer a fellow poet on, if you can hear your cheers over the sound of my knees knocking together.

Poetry will include rudeness, probably some swearage, all funny ones and even a song, if you are unlucky.

In case you are up for it, here's the link

In the meantime, here's a poem:

Tiny Man

I like running in the fields with my friends,

But if I wanted a tiny man on my back

Hitting my arse with a whip

I'd be a horse.

So get off.

 

The others are a lot better. Hope to see you there.
