Those three ‘wise’ monkeys
were about today
Doing what they do and
looking the other way
Eyes closed to
all that went on
Unseeing and blind
to deeds did wrong
The monkey number two
closes his ears to all around
Not wishing to hear
any disturbing sounds
Monkey number three
Wouldn’t say a thing
Cat has his tongue
In all that he sees
See no evil
Hear no evil
Speak no evil
The rules of us all
You have to wonder
When did we get so cruel
You have to wonder
Why bother at all…

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...''
