book

A book is not just a book 

It’s not just a line on a page 

It’s something that comes alive

 And like wine matures with age 

It’s not something that should sit there 

collecting dust on the shelf

It’s not about the cover 

its the knowledge and the wealth  

its something that can launch you into the  world of imagination

it is days spent together a companion  a celebration 

it can bring tears of sadness and joy

something for each and every girl and boy

if it doesn't get you at first don't fear

you can always put it down and  pick it up next year

 a book is not just a book 

its art wrapped in a cover

one for each month 

one for your sister and brother

 and if you find words come alive on the page

treat them  with calmness no need to rage

read a few lines or a rhyme at your pace

it shouldn't be something like we do in a race

some may need help making sense of it all

we shouldn't laugh cos that just isn't cool

helping each other have a good look

cos it really is nothing without a good book

an adventure begins with each turn of a corner

the words that run cold some times get warmer 

we live for the time when all the children stop crying 

the story is written the experience is dying

the smell of the new and the old just as good

praise be to all we have enough wood

the poet  breathes in and the words all come out

the writer the healer is what its about

a book is never just a book it excites and consumes

when you get to end  another beginning resumes 

the author can lift you and drop you like rain

no need to inform you no room to explain 

if you read well then share tell the story

gather the children watch them gasp in the glory

when all the world is their stage and enough has been said 

come mother and father take  your children to bed 

 with love fold your corner hold time by the hand 

whether you have drawn a line in the sand

a book is not just a book and for these lines to survive

we must read  to each other and keep the poem alive

pick up the words and let the feast begin now

never ask why never ask how 

read feel the passion in each word that is true

read as if the experience is new

remember a book is not just a book look and see

and if you don't get it just come and ask me 

so let the pirates escape and your mind open wide

we can sail on together  on the very next tide

it really doesn't matter no one will look

just remember i told you a book is not just a book  

Grenfell – Dir. Jamie Scrutton – 4.37 
I was asked to adapt a piece of writing, by the fantastic Poet Daren Peary titled “Grenfell.” It is based on the horrific Grenfell Fire Tragedy. His heartfelt narrative allowed me to translate the pure lyrics to a visual Motion Film, animating his artistic but compelling words to life. This Animation is dedicated to the beautiful spirits, victims and residents who were affected by this inferno. Also, to the Medical Professions who showed courage, fearlessness and strength, to service their commitment to a tragedy which could and should have been prevented. #JusticeForGrenfell.

As the Pumpkin takes centre stage another year another page
Time to dress your windows too
Open the door and say boo
Celebrate the witching hour
If you knock on my door
I'll be in the shower 🎃🎃🎃🌑🌕🕸🕸🕷🕷

Marmitegate

This is funny and all at a good time #marmitegate 

#GBBO

  #GBBO 

The GBBO is no more

 I hear its gone to channel 4

no more puns or buns or soggy bottoms 

no more bakes or cakes with blossoms

no more Mel and Sue or Mary 

I wish i was the Tv Fairy 

i’d sprinkle dust upon them all 

and bring them  back to the cooking hall

why oh why i hear you ask

there’s got to be another task

just one more loaf 

one more pastry mix

one more attempt at choc biscuits

one more episode with piping

I can feel my blood pressure rising

Mr Hollywood it will be surprising 

if it works or will be as exciting 

lots of TWEETS and lots being read

all the fuss about a loaf of bread 

the programme had a Recipe for success

now its in a complete mess 

oh well time moves on and I'm in the dark

I’ll just make do with more Poldark

I’m certain love productions has some love in 

as i put my head into the oven

and pull out a spectacular yorky pud 

its quite amazing the rise is good

so i still might apply to  channel 4

even though half of it is on the floor

there’s hope and purpose in this gent

goodbye guys i loved your tent xxx
