Quirky and Curious Verse 1941-2011

This Eclectic Collection Of Verse Originates From Short “School Essays”Found On The Back Of Drawings Made In 1941. These Were Latertransformed Into Verse. My Daughter Became The Real Inspirationfor This Collection. In The 1960S She Wanted To Exchange Verse Instead Ofhaving Me Read A Bedtime Story To Her. We Went On To Do This Off And OnFor Several Years. Most Of The Verses In This Collection Were Written Later Onaeroplanes And Trains While Travelling. They Provide A Commentary On LifeSometimes Wistful Sometimes Amusing Sometimes Irreverent Sometimescritical Sometimes Educational And Sometimes Imaginative And Uncouth.The Verses Range From Observations On The Funny Side Of Life To Childhoodmemories To Railing Against Bureaucracies And Man’S Ethics And MoralityTo Lauding Extraordinary Achievements To Fairy Stories And An Attemptto Explain Nature’S Major Forces To Young People! Above All I Hope Thatreaders Of This Wild Chaotic And Mostly Lighthearted Collection Will Findsomething Amusing And Of Value.
