Poetry

This is the latest book written by Peter and it explores everyday subjects in a light hearted and often humorous manner.

          Booking a Holiday on-line?
          What does it feel like to be a by-passed road?
          How do you beat the blues?
          Is it worth winning the Lotto?
          The sweet sound of the goldfinch
          What should we eat?

These are just some of the topics covered.

INTERNET HOLIDAYS

It’s time to unravel

This new way to travel

And do all the bookings online,

With hotels and planes

And shuttles and trains

With everything working out fine;

The low ones all seem to be hidden,

And I don’t seem to have the technique.     ..........(continued)

                                      

WALKING

Some people just walk for the good of their health,

They say that it’s splendid and better than wealth,

It’s good for the body and all types of ills,

It’s better than medicine, better than pills.   .........(continued)

                

THE GOLDFINCH

As I strode out on winding paths

To meet the springtime breeze,

Bright shafts of sunlight reached out through

The ash and alder trees.    ..........(continued)


THE TEETH

The Moussaka and rice

Was tasting so nice

‘Til a small grain went under my teeth,

Then the tongue had adventures

Exploring the dentures

But couldn’t probe right underneath;

This called for a trip to the bathroom,

I’m sure that you’ll all understand

That whilst I was washing my dentures

They suddenly slipped from my hand.    ..........(continued)
