Hi John Thanks for looking in. I know West Haddlesey. As a lad I lived for my first 10 years in Selby just off doncaster road! My mum still lives there and by brother in Barlow. In fact I know the G & D too. I will be cycling past it on next mon or tue twice as part of a 200km ride from My home in Hebden Bridge to North Cave and back "walking in six string heaven" - I am a big fan of rock guitar I'm afraid. I will think of Coopey's groupies when I pass. Win x

Thanks for your kind comments about "Coopey's Groupies". This a very rare example of me being able to do something positive with such an unusual surname.
The poem is true (-well, perhaps a little exaggerartion with the anecdotes-). It's the George and Dragon in West Haddlesey near Selby.
Anyway, I took the opportunity to look at some of your poems and was impressed by them - we seem to share a love of rhythm. I especially enjoyed the phrase "walking in six string heaven" - very pictorial and evocative.
Once again, thanks for the post.

Thank you for your comment on Baby Irma. Rest assured, no trafficking of babies (oh, Cynthia, that would be a horrendously gothic idea, the trafficking of dead babies to the Living and living babies to the Dead) it's simply the Dead wishing to take advantage of their position and set up a trading cartel. What goods would the Dead trade with the Living and vice versa? I leave that to your imagination.

Hi Jane, glad you enjoyed my Kingfisher poem. I've been looking at your work and was struck by the abundance of rich language in Apple Power, and by the quiet but outraged patriotism of The Duck House Parliament. Cromwell always gets a bad press in many quarters, on the left as well as the right, but I do see him as a great figure, and you gave him an almost mythical power in your poem. A collection of poems about the civil war ... now that would be something, wouldn't it? Greg

You're hiding behind the sofa?! That's where Dalek nits congregate/lurk when they've fallen off their host! They're a nuisance to get out of your carpet and their eggs survive for millennia. Send Fanny The Indian Cow to track them down with her long, cow tongue! She's adorable, by the way!

I hadn't thought of it as 'tortoise and hare-like'. Maybe revisit it in the future but unlikely. :-)

Hi Lisa, I did wonder where the missing piece for the actual jigsaw came from, But as it is a mystery in the poem, I assumed it was the returning of the son ;-)

I'd be delighted to have you on the team.
I always wanted to find a woman who knew about horse-racing and the Bible - a bit of a niche fetish.
I do have, however, as you know, an "entry fee".
