Love it! There's always a different way of approaching a topic - an essence of good teaching. Thus opening the door to someone who may not otherwise be reached

Children's book incoming? I have a couple of toddler nephews who would be very keen!

My door is always open to publishing deals 😆

Well done! Just be careful that it is never used against you as the ramblings of a closeted pyromaniac :)

Thanks Ruben. Doubt I’ll ever be important enough to have something like this used against me!

Ah you’ve set my heart ablaze

With your flaming word craze

So I’ll strike while I’m ironing

(Cause the iron is hot)

We’re alert to the ember

In November and December

And we try so hard

To avoid being charred

But as everyone knows

(Even those with no hose)

If we fail to act on lessons learned…

Then all we've earned is the right to be burned (!)

There are few higher glories than inspiring spontaneous poetry. Thank you for your dazzling rhymes
