A collection of verse taking a sideways view of life from birth to death and points between. How do you know if you are middle aged? Why are there so many bottles in your bathroom? Where exactly is that safe place where all your mislaid possessions are stored? Answers to these and many other of life's mysteries may be found here. ...and where exactly do socks go when they die? Ten further poems added, including considerations of Morris Dancing and the Immortality of Amoebas.
- Tunnel Vision: Quirky Verse, #6

A collection of verse full of weak puns and jokes, loosely related by two men with long white beards, including 'Just Another Day in Paradise','Simply Saving Silences',and 'Twenty Things Worth Knowing, Including Some that Aren't'.
