Book synopsis

What's this ?

Light hearted stories and verse with pictures I designed this collection to entertain and stimulate readers
; short clips to add fun to busy lives. Some more serious pieces but with some humour always.

What to call this Collection?

I was listening to Cockney Translator by Smiley Culture just as my wife was sorting out her jewellery upstairs. I remembered the kids poetry TV Show of long ago Tomfoolery ! I have prepared this tray of bright objects. They are small pieces of all moods and formats with one rule Don't Be Boring.

How did you get started?

My earliest memory is of my mother using flashcards to teach me to read while still in my playpen. we lived in a flat at West Heath, a Vimto only area of Birmingham, so my poetry is restricted to about fifty different words usually including "hippopotamus".

Give us a quick biography in the third person.

Chris was born in the wagon of a travelling show and raised on Brummies' tales of Welsh gypsies, lead zeppelins dangling cables that shredded the factories of the first world war and great grandfathers lost coming home to find their wives remarried and doing very nicely thank you! He stopped wanting to be a shepherd when an escaped flock stopped the Tesco man from delivering his olives.
Never mind Mr 2-brains: - Chris has 7 brains: jester, logical, musical, word-brain, bread-head, portable idiot, says his wife, and a membrane to contain the conflict.
Likes include love, the sea, fishes, wishes, jokes, mellow folks, olives, originals, Aboriginals, fun and Brum.

What if I want to feedback to Chris?

There is an email address included but I might recycle comments as new work so beware.
