HAPPY CHRISTMAS 2007!!!Hi,
Just a quick post to say HELLO - MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
This post contains a couple of items hot off the press. The excellent fantabulous illustration is by my glamorous assistant (or am I his glamorous assistant; we're yet to decide.) At the time of posting we are hoping that this will be the cover of YETI SPAGHETTI, my collection of children's poems which Bearsoup is illustrating; hopefully to be available by Summer 2008.
The second treat is the poem of the same name - to go with this collection - which I have been working on sporadically for a while now; but which is now finally completed. Well, it was only completed at lunchtime today; so this may still be a draft - but it's certainly hot off the press.
I hope you enjoy it and the cover.
More in the new year!!

YETI SPAGHETTI
(16-18/12/2007)
Are you looking for something -
You haven’t found yet?
Try out yeti spaghetti -
It's as good as you'll get...
Oh, yeti spaghetti -
Isn’t made out of yeti…
Yeti spaghetti -
Doesn't taste like confetti…
It is slippy and slidey -
It's a little like eels…
But a yeti gets used -
To the way that it feels…
As he sits in a bath -
Made from fresh pasta hoops -
Slurping all kinds of -
Extra-terrestrial soups…
As he sits in the slop -
With his bright plastic ducks…
He'd not swap his position -
For a million bucks!
Yeti spaghetti -
Is important not petty…
Yeti spaghetti's -
So hot you'll get sweaty…
But it makes you feel good -
Like cappuchino with foam -
Like an icing clad cupcake…
Like your own home sweet home…
It is good for your pores -
Keeps your fur nice and trim -
Makes you glow deep within -
Stops you feeling dead grim;
There is nothing quite like it…
No, nothing that works -
With a top secret recipe -
It's just one of life's perks…
Yeti spaghetti -
It's best eaten when wet -
Yeti spaghetti -
When you're down the laundrette…
When you're still half asleep -
When you're half in a dream;
Yeti spaghetti -
With a tub of ice cream…
With a pie on the side;
With a cake close at hand…
All helps yeti spaghetti;
Taste incredibly grand…
It will make you feel tall…
Even when you are small…
Yeti spaghetti;
Is the best food of them all…
So, if you're feeling quite low -
Or if you're full of regret…
Just remember;
Yeti spaghetti;
Soon will help you forget...
