Now We Are Very Old

If poetry be the food of love, read on’ as some particularly famous playwright bloke once said or maybe he didn’t. It might have been that he said, ‘if music be the food of love, play on’. Frankly, be that as it may, this composer of little rhyming ditties thinks poems are rather fun and many of them are, in any case, about things he loves. Thus, it works either way.

This little volume of twenty-four poetic offerings on various themes (plus one totally free extra ditty in the introduction, please note) rather proves the point even if the author most un-humbly does say it himself.

Read out loud with rhythm in your voice. Set them to music of your own choosing and sing them if you like. However you prefer to take your poems, please enjoy them for what they are: a bit of simple fun.

Parrot Antics

These Parrot Antics are funny, playful, and bursting with color.

Sir Reginald Raucous Van Reek seizes every opportunity to perform for the gallery, reveling in the spotlight. In his world, pride, prejudice, and presumption help him plunder his way through life, while hard knocks roll off him like water off a duck’s back.

Despite his mischievous deeds, he steals our hearts with his playful antics, brought to life through the rhythm of rhyming fun.

But does this self-proclaimed sage ever learn anything from his roguish rascality?

Ocean Commotion!

Far out in the ocean, a pod of dolphins spots something unusual. As they swim closer, one curious dolphin ventures ahead for a better look and discovers a hoard of floating plastic waste. Shocked and angered by the pollution, the dolphins decide it is time to teach humanity a lesson for polluting their seas.

Working together, the pod devises a bold plan. They will transport the plastic waste back to shore, blockade the port, and create chaos – all to draw attention to the urgent problem of plastics in the ocean.
