Air Traffic Control hae lost control,

Stickin passengers oan the grund

Anither glitch, another hitch

Anither tender needin pitched

Fae somedae that can run the show,

An when yer “boardin” cas

Yer free tae go.

Ministers ca fir slackin rules,

Pollutin rivers wie buildin tools,

If houses can be built

An shareholders profits tilt

Upwards!

ADDNIBS WEATHER WARNING

The day will be sunny an fine

Fir sitting oan the terrace sipping wine

Till three o’cloak

Sae git ready for another soak,

Enouch tae gie a guy the boak.

A see auld Richy O’s worked a flanker

Gien license tae the biggest tankers

An extra tae fir childcare

Whit a man, oot in front –

But behind the scenes he just a lunt

There’s shares in aw things lurking there

That yon Standards Committee hae laid bear.

Noo he’s really in the stew!

“Oh well dear Richo, an apology will do”.

Guid tae be back, A’ve missed ye!

ADDNIBS WEATHER WARNING

Autumn is jist roond the block

Aff wie the sandals an oan wie the socks

Alas the guid days hae fallen

Unless like me yer allergic tae pollen

Yon citrizene an hankies pit awa

Nae need the neb tae blaw

FREEDOM! is ma ca’.

My dear readers, please be aware that my novel Polis & Poltergeist is a name change from Beyond Good and Evil and is the same story.

To all those who have purchased Polis & Poltergeist believing it to be a new story, please accept my sincere apology.

And thank you to my loyal reader who brought this to my attention!

Alan

The ebook and paperback are now for sale on Lulu.com and should be on Amazon and Barnes Noble within the next fortnight.

Hope you enjoy the read folks.

You really will need to bolt the doors and lock the windows before settling down with this Scribe’s tale.

I was fortunate enough to spend some time this week with two good mates: Tam, probably the best Engineer in Ayrshire, and Big Al, the man who makes sure my stories reach the world.

Those meetings reminded me of the importance and value of friendships shared in real time, there was nothing virtual about them except the moment I virtually peed myself laughing.

Thanks lads!

One avid JP Associates fan enjoys a refreshment in the Shore Bar with the author on his first tour. Andrea loved every minute as she discovered where her favourite characters hang out and all about the Leith they inhabit.🕵️‍♀️

Old habits die hard. Five to five in the Shore Bar and their chairs remain empty but come five o’clock Bob and Tod will take their usual seats. They’ve something to discuss and his name is Tamworth Shaw.
