The poems in this section were written over a period of years. A few have been published or self-published elsewhere, for example Journeyman was published in 1995 in a short lived boxing fanzine called JABS & JOLTS. Dying For A Fag and The Song Of Mary Whitehouse (one of my finer efforts) were published in July 1994 anthology TAKE IT LIKE A MAN! The ITMA Book Of “Gay” Verse.
I’ve been called many things in my life but never politically correct, so if you are easily offended or outraged I suggest you look elsewhere for your iambic pentameters.
