Hi,
FINALLY!! Rather later than expected!!
This post is just to let you know - that after almost a year I finally have a new book of poetry released and available on www.Lulu.com
This volume is called POEMS TO MAKE BEARS GROWL and contains over 50 poems and photographs. We are proud to announce it is also guest edited by Beargrrrian celebrity, Charlie Grrr - who is also on the cover.
Here's a sample of one of the poems from this collection:
A NIGHT ON THE TOWN WITH A YETI!
A night on the town with a Yeti...
Signposts trouble I'm sure you will find!
You may think it sounds quite entertaining...
But I tell you it's simply a bind...
Yeti folk they can be so unruly...
Slightly clumsy or foolish at best...
When things don't work out in their favour -
They go bleak and then get all depressed!
A night on the town with a Yeti...
Has been known to spin out of control...
If you do not allow for some planning...
You may dig yourself into a hole!
You may drink too much booze in a hurry...
See the world slipping into a blur...
Waking up the next day in a gutter...
To find some bugger has stolen your fur!!
A night on the town with a Yeti...
Can be quite a large pain in the paw...
Should he suffer a bad upset belly -
He may let out a loud mighty roar!
No-one wants to play nurse to a Yeti...
Or be expected to pick up the tab!
Due to the after effects of a curry...
Or because he’s eaten a dodgy kebab...
A night on the town with such Yeti...
Only leads to a dismal despair...
Even worse than high tea with a badger...
Or a booze-sodden Stag with a bear...
More scary than chain-smoking squirrels -
Or a buffet lunch shared with a mule...
If a Yeti sees something - he'll have it...
And then cover you promptly in drool!
Never go out on the razzle with Yeti...
Just remember these words I advise...
Try avoiding the debris and vomit...
And the flakey bake pastry of pies...
It's a terrible waste of good dinner...
And to throw it about is just foul...
Just don't mention the fact to a Yeti...
Or he'll give out a hangover growl...
Don’t attempt a night out with a Yeti...
They are beasties it's best to avoid!
You will feel your stress levels all rising!
You are sure to get quite paranoid...
Why not stick to a snack with a bunny...
Or with mice take a fresh cup of tea...
But, if you must paint the town red with a Yeti...
Please then do so - just don't invite me!
