Odysseys Of The Christmas Sporran And The Good Clock

About this ebook
As I’m sure you all know -- an odyssey is a long wandering poetic story.
The most famous one was about the adventures of a Greek gent called Odysseus.
Here are two short wandering poetic stories – (mini odysseys), plus a non wandering story about a tissue.
Only two are written in Rhyme. The other isn’t.
The first mini odyssey tells of the Christmas that became the final wild days of that awesome creature "The Sporran". (Never heard of one?)
The second, is about a Clock-kind plot for world domination, narrated by a schoolboy’s alarm clock!
The third one, a little bonus, is a brief glimpse of the life and times of a Paper Handkerchief (Royal of course).

Hello, My first book for youngsters, “A Frogs' Tale”, was done as a surprise for my Granddaughter Alicia, she and her Mum loved Frogs. She liked it, and so the first book expanded to two books, and now there are five. I called the series “Tales from Wingy Woods”. Prior to the children’s books, I wrote a book to help interested people, to achieve their goal of obtaining a "Retirement Visa". To Thailand, Oddly enough – I called it -- “How to Retire to Thailand” As a Part time resident in Thailand; I came across many people wanting to -- or dreaming of -- retiring there. They all faced many problems. Up-to-date and clear answers were difficult to find, and there were and still are, are plenty of 'rip-off' ‘Visa Companies’ in existence. The charges that the Thai Immigration department makes for a visa are the same for everyone. I contend that no one needs to pay more than those charges. This book shows the way. I started my working life as an engineering apprentice, and in my time worked on all kinds of Fabrications from Conveyor Systems to Bridges. I progressed into a company that fabricated whole Sugar Factories, and from that company I started out on a 20 year period when I worked overseas in many countries, firstly building Sugar Factories and then Petro-Chemical plants. Other works that I have written include television scripts, poetry, and lots of songs, none of which have made me rich enough to stop writing.

As I’m sure you all know -- an odyssey is a long wandering poetic story.
The most famous one was about the adventures of a Greek gent called Odysseus.
However, I don’t want to keep you with your noses stuck in a book for too long…So…
These are two short wandering poetic stories – (mini odysseys if you will).
The first is about the dreaded Sporran’s plundering.
To understand this poem, you have to let your mind wander into the magical world of the Highland Haggis Breeder.
Haggis as you know, are actually a tasty Highland fare, beloved of bonny Highlanders (aye -- and Lowlanders too). But in this poem they magically transform into timid, living (but still very tasty) beings.
Their guardian is a brave heroic person, commonly dressing in hard-wearing, coat and kilt of homespun cloth. His main weapon of defence is
