The perfect Christmas present
I hoped she didn’t think it was sarcastic – My Christmas gift to poor one legged Cilla. “An artificial leg!” she cried, “Fantastic!” “Aw shucks,” I said. “It’s just a stocking filler.”
Out now - A Flash of Orange, a selection of humorous verse from the sidelines. Over 65 poems. 100pp. A miserly €10. Not a swear word in sight, though several of the poems might stray into the territory of 'black humour.' Post and packing free to anywhere in the known world (P and p extra to the unknown world) All personally signed too...
I work in a warehouse which as you can imagine is very stimulating. I follow Shelbourne FC and football in general. Happily married for over 20 years to Monica with two great no-longer kids, Louise and Neil.
I mainly write humorous verse but have written serious verse, a book of essays, a novel and a biography. But still can't put up a shelf.

Great. Reminds me of the joke that's lost it's way, really, since Paul McCartney got divorced(apologies if you know it):
"Did you hear what Paul McCartney got his wife for Chistmas?"
"No."
"A plane."
"A plane??"
"Yes. And a Ladyshave for the other leg."
