A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME...

Please visit The Land of Peace formerly known as the Land of Nowhere where you can have a drink in the lounge, wander around the garden, sit by the stream and watch the frogs play or visit the Treehouse built by Inkwash. You are welcome to add your own touches to the garden, plant flowers or trees, add water features or pitch a tent! stinkywigfiddle has built a research facility above the Land. This research facility is awesome and must be seen to be believed.

by Skinny Rowland ¹

Now he was a great writer,
a readers delighter,
but he never went to great pains,
because right from the start,
he wrote from the heart,
and forgot about using his brains.

Well his old Royal would clatter,
with his subject matter,
as he hammered away at the keys
it was likely as not
he'd forgotten the plot,
but writing for him was a breeze.

He knew how to spell,
but not very well,
so most of his words were amiss,
so to show his repentance,
he'd leave out a sentence,
and that's how he made up for this.

The start of one story,
was one of great glory,
a tale of the great Civil War,
but the end of this book,
had a much different look,
'twas a manual for hanging a door.

Well they sent back his writing,
and at this time citing,
that his work was unmatched,
but he got the hint,
with a powerful dint,
seeing a new book of matches attached.

He was not one for crying,
so he kept right on trying,
with hopes for a future much brighter,
but he ain't got the sense,
the lord gave a mud fence,
so you can see he's a qualified writer.

And so day after day,
he hammers away,
always forgetting the latest rejection,
with a different theme,
and the ongoing dream,
that the next one will be pure perfection.

So follow his lead,
and try to succeed,
don't succumb to frustration and panic,
though you might wisely agree,
to have a "plan B",
and take a course as an aircraft mechanic.

But if people should smirk,
demanding proof of your work,
you surely don't have to take it,
just take it in stride,
with an air of great pride,
like I'm doing right now and just fake it.
