    About this ebook

    Life throws so many things our way, good and bad, and sometimes it helps to take an alternative look, especially if we can have a bit of a chuckle at the same time. This collection of humorous verse takes a sideways look at some of the trials (and tribulations) that beset our everyday lives.

    We've all been there...

    Dear Reader, Welcome to my first collection of rhyming verse, about the ups and downs of everyday life. A bit about me: I’m a 59 years young Mum and Nan, and I’ve been semi-retired for 6 months now and enjoying every minute of it. I love to write, particularly rhyming verse, especially if makes you chuckle, but I also enjoy writing short stories and books, individually, and as one half of writing partnership, Dorothy Raven. I'm working on a second collection of rhyming verse for us grown-ups and a collection for children, which I hope to publish in the New Year. I don’t have a website at the moment, but if you would like to contact me on clbryant55@gmail.com, I would love to hear from you. I hope you enjoy this book and it brightens your day.
