Poetry please

Jul 20th, 2008

by Dan.

I imagine that by now everyone is getting sick to the back teeth of me going on about the walk (You know, the one I’m doing for the Joseph Salmon Trust which you can donate to here).

So today, instead of awarding Kerry a Good Egg Award for agreeing to cart our stuff all over the Yorkshire Dales, I have decided to make public a poem I wrote for her in the first couple of weeks of our courtship.

Truth

I slowly come to see reality.
Everyone else doesn’t understand.
They mock, they taunt
They disbelieve
incredulus eyes
Yet I stand firm and strong
The truth is my scafolding
Despite the things they say
The dog did eat my homework.

It’s a wonder she didn’t dump me then and there.

You are all heart, and a few pints, but mostly heart. She’s a luckyish woman.

Cart your stuff? What is the backpack for?

Bet Kerry is thrilled! But having you – quirks and all is a gift in itself. Isn’t it?

A walk you say?

What’s this walk you speak of?

I confess, I was worried when I saw that you were publishing a poem, as that sort of thing doesn’t usually go well. This, however, is literary genius.

Who am I?

My name's Dan and I live near Huddersfield in the North of England. I’m a 34 years old part time stay at home dad. For three days a week I'm also a community mental health nurse but you won’t find me blogging about that here. I’m married to Kerry and we have two children - Amy (6) and Evan (3). I keep chickens, grow veg, and take the occasional long walk. If you want to know how other's describe me then take a look here. If you haven't been here before feel free to say hello in the comments.
In July of 2010 we'll be walking the length of Hadrian's Wall in six days. That's 84 miles across the entire width of England.

We're walking in aid of the Joseph Salmon Trust, a charity founded by our friends in memorial to their son Joseph who died aged 3 in April of 2005.

The Joseph Salmon Trust supports parents who have lost a child by providing financial assistance to those who need it most. Please consider sponsoring us. Thank you.

- Some Vague Utopia. Hadrian's Walker Catherine has caved into per pressure and just started her own blog. And distressingly good it is too. already she's probably better than me. Damn.

- All 11 Dr Whos unite for a special. It's just a pity that it's a 15 minute Children in need thing rather than a proper 2 hour extended episode.

Disclosure

Any Blu-Ray movies I review on the site will have been sent to me free by a PR company. They have also given me the Blu-Ray player to watch them on. I will remain 100% honest in all my reviews however. On occasion I may review a product or post a link on my sidebar in return for a donation to the Joseph Salmon Trust. Again, any reviews I write will still be 100% honest.
I also pick my nose occasionally and sometimes drive slightly above the speed limit.
