Rt Rhymes from 6 to 60 

This book has true stories in rhyme covering my sixty years,
There are a lot of memories of happy times and of tears.
Its about things I did as a kid and remember well,
And things I have done as an adult that are safe to tell.
Ive stories of friends that I have made throughout my working life,
And of things I have wrote to and about my Mam and my darling wife.
I have fi nished off my book with two rhymes that are a bit sad,
To show you have to remember the good times along with the bad
