    About this ebook

    My poetry comes in a peculiar way; I see the world on display; Then logic's usurped; the mind burps. So please read me, I pray.

    Thinker & Storyteller****7,453 Words to Save the UK and I,Writer are now FREE. Scroll down to find them.*****1955 (Yorkshire, England) – I am born (Damn! Already been done). ‘Twas the best of times ... (Oh well).I was actually born in the year of Einstein's death, close to Scrooge's Counting House. It doesn't mean anything but it sounds good. As for my education, I left school at 15 and have had no formal education since. Hence, I'm self-taught.****From a family of newsagents, at 18 I did a Dick Whittington and went off to London, only to return to pretend to be Charlie and work in a chocolate factory.When I was ten I was asked what I wanted to be. I said soldier, writer and Dad. I never thought of it for years – having too much fun, such as a time as lead guitarist in a local rock band – but I served nine years in the RAF, got married and had seven kids. I realized my words had been precognitive when, at age 27, I came down with M.E. – a condition I’ve suffered ever since – and turned my attention to writing.Indeed, as I realized that no expert could tell me what was wrong with me, I began my quest to find out why. Little did I realize it would last decades and take me through the entire history of knowledge, leaving me with the certainty that our knowledge systems are inadequate.****My non-fiction is based on P-ology, a thought process I devised to work with patterns of knowledge, and designed to be a bedfellow to specialization. A form of Rational Holism, it seeks out areas the specialist may have missed. I work from encyclopaedias and introductory volumes in order to gain a grasp of many subjects and am not an expert in anything, but those patterns keep forming. Hence, I do not deal in truth, but ideas, and cover everything from politics to the paranormal.When reading my work I ask only: do I make sense? Of course, an expert would say: a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. I agree. And an expert has so little knowledge of everything.I also write novels and Flash Fiction in all genres.

      INTRODUCTION

      Welcome. My poetry comes in a peculiar way; I see the world on display; Then logic's usurped; the mind burps. So please read me, I pray.

      SCARY

      Midnight ... Song of the Dead ... Molly the Medium ... Welcome ... Fleeting

      MIDNIGHT

      The hour strikes, the hands are both raised,

      The clock is still, all else is crazed,

      For this is midnight, of time and soul,

      Goosebumps raised, the air is cold

      Witches chant and bats fly above,

      No time now for peace or a dove,

      For spirits are out, walking the Earth,

      A supernatural veil of sorrow and dearth

      Into this brew your thoughts do stray,

      Mixed in a cauldron for ghosties to waylay,

      And haunt you with memories of what you’ve done,

      Hope you did good, or now you’re so glum

      As minutes tick
