Poetry Semi-Skimmed

This is the fourth collection of Eddie’s poetry; he says that the verses hover somewhere between doggerel and light verse. He also says: Serious poetry is mainly melancholy, As serious poets are, mainly, off their trolley, So don’t expect anything grand, It’s simple fare, borderline bland. But may these short and simple rhymes, In these tense and troubled times, Give you cause to pause awhile, And as you read them, bring a smile.
