Just when you think
ambition is
in remission
it jumps out
with no warning
and cries “new
Publisher”, “new
edition”, and the
old hopes
emerge from
their hiding place
in the bone
marrow and
turn your life
upside down.

If only they had known
The human race
is in the
position the
dinosaur race
was in some
25 years
before the

I don’t tread
on ants

airplane crashes,
and you can get
them to believe

underpasses,
overpasses,
lay-bys,
and alternate
scenic routes.
And some of
us aren’t.
Blind leading the blind
When did
blind faith
in imaginary
beings become
a virtue,
and seeing
the truth
of science

To White
Cockatoos, Black
Cockatoos must
seem the stuff
of nightmares.
To Black Cockatoos,
White Cockatoos
must seem the
ghosts of ancestors.
Why did the dinosaur cross the road?
Sixty

years ago,
the dinosaurs
had a saying –
“as rare as a
toothless hen.”
