Old Toad
he tells a story
About many a thing
a regular Jackanory
Tales of swashbuckling
and derring-do
Is there anything
that Toad hasn’t seen or can’t do?
He’ll tell you one thing
others another
Never being honest
to friend or brother
This his way
for many a year
Old Toad
has honesty to fear
He trips up
in all his tales
Getting lost
in those fables
Being honest
is hard for he
But if he tried
then from lies he’d be free

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...''
