Welcome

I love words and have been writing for years. Although it started with silly poems, I have matured (slightly) and now enjoy writing poems and songs for special friends to celebrate special milestones. I have decided to put these online should anyone be interested and also they are a safe haven online should anything happen to my knackered old laptop!



So from my first song for Helen, to the latest songs for Tina's 40th and poems for Sherrell's baby and all the stuff in the background since I was 14, enjoy my silly poems, my prose, my barstardisation of songs and if any one of them makes you smile, then I am happy. Let me know what you think!

Favourite Things

Song for my Auntie Kate

Passed away age 74
8th November 2010

A wonderfully musical lady who was a dedicated primary school teacher all her life

For Kate

To the tune of My favourite Things

Snow in the winter and a tan from the Med
Playing piano and kicking my leg to my head
Skating on ice and of course drinking gins
These are a few of my favourite things
Teaching primary children, skills for their life
And being a magnificent mother and wife
Embracing and challenging whatever life brings
These are a few of my favourite things

Enjoying a round of golf with my friends
Hoping the holiday in Greece never ends
Seeing my children graduate like kings
These are a few of my favourite things

I’ve done all my sums
So when the time comes
Please don’t feel bad
Just simply remember the great life I have led
And then you won’t feel so sad
