MAY 2010 - VENTRILOQUIST'S UPDATE:
My Latest Project is researching and communicating to children, via my Ventriloquist Characters, my passion for English Wildlife and Nature – especially the joys and delights of little English Streams, Ponds and Rivers.
One of my Ventriloquist Characters – ‘DaisyLDooLittle’ – is a little lost goldfish abandoned by her family – who finds herself in the wonderful underwater world of an English stream – meeting unusual creatures and exploring underwater plants and wildlife as she embarks on a great journey ...
Watch this Space for the next instalment - or - why not come to the Studio to meet 'DaizyLDooLittle' and hear extracts of her magical and delightful Story!

To provide a 'taster' - Here are TWO EXTRACTS From my 'Goblet Boodles' LATEST Humorous Verse-Fable/FairyTale POEMS:
"Now Bramble Bush, with silent wrath
Still searching for his capsized cloth
Will tear at clothes that passers-by
Bedraggle in the countryside
And bittered by his loss of threads
Would rather tear all YOURS to shreds!"
– From ‘The Contract Of The BrambleBush & The Burble Bat ‘
By ‘Goblet Boodles’
Humorous Poet/Author/Illustrator
______________________________
“The Woodpecker in umbrage cried
“My beat’s a ‘Telegraph’!”
“Go boil your head, I’m off instead!”
“Far from your Treble Staff!”
“GOOD RIDDANCE!” were the last words
The Fiddler uttered, half
In anger at the big bird
(At which the pixies laughed!)”
– From ‘The Tale Of The Old Composer‘
By ‘Goblet Boodles’
Humorous Poet/Author/Illustrator
