Oh hungry Joe he had a go
On the challenge he did see
Eyes as big as his belly to blow
No-one could quite believe!
A 32oz steak he did try
With all the trimmings of course
His delight he could not hide
At the Hungry Horse
So he ate and ate all he saw
Including sides
And even more!
He ate this with pride
Like a hippo he did feel
As he munched away
Look out! He’s gonna keel!
Did someone say
Finally he’s had enough
Struggled did he
He feels slightly rough
As he ate the last pea
Plate clean he sits back
Undoing a button or two
From the staff he gets a clap
And his meal free to boot
Then to his surprise
Arrives his desert
No more please
I’m fit to burst!
Poor old hungry Joe
Eat it did he
His eyes a little did grow
At all there was to eat

I'm a thinker, listener, a "question's pretty much everything" type of person. A seeker of knowledge, always restless, yet seeks the calm in life.
I love writing in all forms and am in the process of completing a number of ongoing projects. I love the craft of writing and the possibilities it holds. A magic carpet through the mind. I love pretty much all creative arts, music, film and theatre the leading ones.
Born in Hertfordshire in England, my family Irish, Welsh and English, I currently reside in Edinburgh, in Scotland. I'm drawn to coastal and mountain regions where I like to go to think and draw inspiration from. Ireland is a place that's dear to me, and I try to get back to see family and friends as much as possible.
My interests are wide and broad, too many to mention here, but history, archaeology, criminology, music and film are just some of those things I love.
I hope you enjoy my ramblings on here as that's what they are really. I'll let my fingers do the ''talking...''
