A Quick Trip Across The Ocean

It's bathtime for the children. In an unusual turn of events I have no washing to put away. Instead I've had 15 minutes (minus the odd break to tell them off for splashing water all over the place) to write. Today my mind went all Edward Lear on me...

Wikitata
Far beyond the horizon
Over land and sea
Is the land of Wikitata
The strangest place you'll see

Where palm trees sway
But they're purple and grey
And the sand is a luminous green
And way up high
By the clouds in the sky
Lives the Island Queen
In a magnificent throne
She sees all that she owns
She looks after it with great care
From the tiniest plant
To the Ursus Giant
A most truly terrifying bear
There's the pink spotted seagull
The six-toed blue eagle
And the shiny glitter-hooved horse
The sabre-toothed frog
And the insectivorous dog
Which eats only ants of course
This royal protector
Will come down to get you
If you threaten her magical land
So leave not a mark
On the ground or the bark
Nor a footprint upon the sand

Far beyond the horizon
Over land and sea
Lives the Island Queen of Wikitata
The best queen there'll ever be

It's been too long so here's a poem

It's a poem that I wrote it as a reminder to myself. Sometimes after a bad day, when my thoughts are raging in my brain, writing is the only way to clear my head. I call it Hello My Name Is Sam - a name I chose because it was the first one that popped in my head and because I've always liked it. Hello My Name Is Sam Hello my name is Sam And I've got lots to say The only problem is I talk in a different way I really love dinosaurs  And I think that you should too So I'll talk about them all day long I really wish you knew As many facts about Jurassic Park As I do, it's such a shame That you say that you're not interested So I'll tell you all their names Then maybe you will like them too And you can be just as clever I don't really want to be alone Please can we talk together? I try to understand people But my struggles are unseen As they sometimes talk in riddles And say things that they don't mean They sometimes take a minute  When they say "I&#

Ooh A Podcast Appearance!

I've been listening to and enjoying Phil and Ben's Don't Lets Chart for ages so when I was asked to be involved I jumped at the chance. If you haven't heard it it's essentially two men in their late 30s trying to make sense of the world using charts as a framework. It is silly, funny and contains more ALF than you'll have heard in a long time. If you want to hear my actual voice you can listen to it via  this link .
