Joined the Royal Air Force 1975 as an electrical engineer left as a SNCO in 1990. Joined British Aerospace as a Senior Engineer in 1990, retired in 2000. I feel passionately about the subjects on which I write. You will see that my poetry is usually written in the form of short stories. Some are moralistic, some are funny (in a wry sort of way) and some are provocative, they are meant to be! . I hope my poems will help people to have second thoughts about the world they live in and maybe the way in which they live in it.
My first book ' On Second Thoughts' A Millenium Message, was published in 1998 by Paper Doll I am currently working to finish a second book this year.

in the wonderful motor car.

She’s there with you always,
through thick and through thin.
She’s there with you always,
as you lose and you win.

As time goes by, I’ve missed so much,
your loving hugs and gentle touch.
As your bodies grow too fast to see,
I hope you’ll both remember me.

We managed to get rid of the Nazi’s,
and to tear down the communist wall.
So what of the police state that’s Britain,
how far must her subjects now fall? .
