Introduction

This little book has been compiled from many years of writing poems (verse): about sixty on reflection, and I have split it into sections because I want it to be mainly fun for readers who can choose their own interests.

I have always tried to avoid obscurity or difficult phrasing so that although I call it a book of poems I am well aware that for the most part it is not a book of poetry (far be it from me to make such a claim) but a book of verse, limericks, doggerel and prose. Just so long as it brings a smile or a memory.
