    About this ebook

    This is a husband
    and wife team who
    both enjoy writing
    in rhyme. A retired couple
    who moved to Cornwall
    fifteen years ago, they met
    many new friends on their
    karaoke weekends. Over the
    years Norman has merged
    from a musical background to writing childrens rhyming stories. His
    in-between years were centred on becoming a successful song writer. He
    has always enjoyed writing from the early age of eleven, where his rhyming
    storys were rewarded and displayed on the classroom wall. But in the
    1960s after an unsuccessful period with several bands he met his wife to
    be Julie in London; then he wished only to develop their relationship and
    settle down. They moved to Manchester/Salford where he was originally
    from. Both shared interests in singing and writing in rhyme, but it wasnt
    until they moved to Cornwall that they both joined a poetry group
    from where they decided to start their joint venture and get a book
    published. Julie came from Vauxhall in London and used to bunk
    off school at every opportunity, she rues her missed days at school
    leaving without the know how to create a comprehensive composition.
    That all changed when she met Norman. Together he would explain
    the art of spelling and composition and as her confidence grew she
    blossomed. She tells about her life with friends and family, her pets;
    and her religious beliefs. These are the building blocks on which she
    has found her joy for creative writing.

      Joint Poetry Book - Julie Flint

      A Lad Called Johnnie

      Johnnie was a lad he knew how to sing,

      He left his mum to visit London town to sing before the Queen.

      His mum was so happy as happy as could be,

      If they found him good she thought money will come rolling home to me.

      Johnnie was gone for a year or two then he made

      A record and his dream came true.

      Now I can make millions and buy mum a great big house.

      Have lots of parties no more being quiet as a mouse

      We have mates ’round for a laugh or two.

      And family that forgot you are there would turn up too.

      3 January 2010

      A Little Mate Called Poppy

      I have a little mate called Poppy,

      And he comes from next door.

      Now they bought a puppy dog

      And don’t want Poppy anymore,

      He’s always out in the wind

      And pouring rain,

      Laying under a car.

      I try to tell the owners

      All they say is, "What can we do.

      Cats love staying out at night . . ."

      But that is just not true.

      Poppy lays in my front garden

      Every day of the week,

      Because I now feed him,

      He looks for his meat.

      If his owners were homeless for a week or two,

      Then they would know

      What they are putting Poppy through.

      Poppy cries to come through our front door

      But that can never be

      We have a dog and it

      Would not be best for he.

      All I can do is feed him everyday

      But with winter coming,

      The weather is turning cold

      My heart goes out to Poppy

      His owners have been told.

      When you buy a pet

      You never let it down

      Never turn your pet away

      He one day won’t be found.

      29 September 2009

      A Pet is for Life

      We feed a homeless cat each and every day,

      After her meat, she likes to play up and down our palm trees
