    About this ebook

    Eddie Thompson is an expatriate Manxman who settled in Milton Keynes with his Welsh wife Enid and daughters Kirsty and Gill in 1981. His verses are based on his experiences, observations and thoughts about life and are for the most part refreshingly brief. He published his first volume, Poetry Lite, in 2015. This second collection again covers a variety of subjects from youth to age, singing to shopping and black puddings to religion.
