What Has Happened to Toytown?

As a scientist I have put these in alphabetical order. A couple which managed to elude me? I have many antisocial habits and one of them (but not the worst) is writing poetry. Don't ask me why! I've written some lyrics for songs for my school chum Neil Rich who, by the way is a bloody amazing musician. He lives in Devon and 1423 and a few others are really quite nice. When it comes to the arts, poetry must be quite close to the bottom, and quite rightly so as it takes anyone with a pen to produce the stuff. Fortunately for you I use a pencil. I have been writing this stuff all my life. I don't know why! So here is a collection of some of the better stuff. There is happy, sad, existential, funny, ridiculous and well.. stuff really. Buying a book of poetry is like buying a music album. There are a few really nice songs that you want to hear. The rest is just so-so. I guess what is in this collection is going to be like that.
