New Name For My Book

Just a quick 'heads up' about my book WISHFUL THINKING...... After an enormous 
wrangle with the publishers and a huge argument I have now took over the control 
of my book!!!!! I have changed the cover and title and I am now in control of 
the price AT LAST!!!!! Wishful Thinking is now titled 'THREE WISHES' and has a 
new and brighter cover! Oh, and is now priced correctly!!!! 
Three wishes is available NOW in kindle and paperback on Amazon. 
For anybody that's bought and read 'wishful thinking' I at first thank you and 
secondly ask that you are aware of the change. 
For anybody that wanted to but was put off(as I would have been) by the price I 
hope you will now look at THREE WISHES and especially the price. If you now 
choose to buy it I genuinely hope you enjoy it. 
Have fun, Phil.

A Christmas Poem

       CHRISTMAS EVE                                                    

On the night before Christmas

I said to my son

“Come on, up the stairs now

Or Santa won’t come”

“Have I been good enough?

Will he come? Will he Dad?”

“Of course he will mate

You’ve been an extra good lad”

I kissed him on his head

Tucked him cosy in his quilt

“Night night son,” I said

With my mind full of guilt

If I’d tried harder at school

I could have carved a career

Then had enough money

To fill his Christmas with cheer

But money was sparse

Like his gifts by the tree

I loved him so much

But love won’t fill him with glee

Just then all went silent

And snow it did fall

I watched through the window

It built up on the wall

As the snow tumbled down

The green lawn became white

A loud tap on the window

Gave me a fright

On the ledge stood a Robin

His breast full and red

He fluffed up his feathers

And shook snow off his head

Distant bells I heard jingle

And a voice full of cheer

“That’s the house Prancer

Set us down have no fear”

I heard reigns being stretched

Snorting beasts and a booming “WHOA!!!”

Then a CRASH a BANG and  THUD

My garden blew up with snow

The window was covered

I couldn’t see out

But I knew what had landed

There was simply no doubt

From behind me, a voice

“HO HO HO” it said

I turned, and I saw him

Dressed in black white and red

My eyes so wide open

My jaw hanging so low

St. Nick was before me

All dusted with snow

The man didn’t look at me

Just busied himself

Stacking parcels galore

With the help of an Elf

Then he walked to the door

Glanced back and said with a wink

“You deserve this young man

For the way that you think”

The door shut behind him

Then his voice boomed from outside

“DASHER!.. COMET!.. BLIXEN!

Let’s get on with this ride”

I heard animals snort

Hooves muffled in the snow

Then a scrape, a slide, then silence

Just a distant ‘HO HO HO’

I awoke with a jolt

The door slammed shut with a thud

Pyjama clad my son shouted

“DAD LOOK, I’VE BEEN GOOD!”

His eyes now wide open

His mouth beaming a smile

He ripped open the gifts

There was such a big pile

My son was so happy

A perfect Christmas day

I heard a tap on the window

And watched the Robin fly away

Who Put Him In Charge

A little video about one of my poems from my book 'View From My Mind' 

Who Put Him in Charge?

Is it a sin to wish you were rich?

Would it look bad in the eyes of the Lord?

Should you be happy to struggle to pay your bills?

Should you be happy with your battered old Ford?

It wouldn't be so bad if all men were equal

If we were all in the same boat

But we're not, so the poor do all the hard work

While the rich sit back and gloat

They come out of their big comfy homes

Drive their big cars, full of gadgets and clocks

They don't spare a thought for the man in the street

Who lives under a bridge, in a box

If we really are created by god

And he's all knowing and all powerful

Then I wish he'd get down from his pedestal

And stop dishing out so much bull!!!!!!!!!!

IF I WAS GOD,.... I'D BE FAIR........... TO EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Where to buy 'View From My Mind'

I.N.R.I

Come on, you said you where coming back

But this is beyond a joke now mate

You where clever though, I’ll give you that

Not giving a specific date



Look at the state of the place, it’s bad

Every day is getting worse

It’s like the devil himself

Has unleashed an evil curse



If you’re stuck, I’ll pay for your taxi

Just get back here, and get here fast

We need you here to help us

Because without you we won’t last



So come on now, people are desperate

There’s a disease of growing fears

Jesus Christ, you’re taking the piss

Making us wait two thousand years.
