A Trip To Italy

Lady Penelope, Parker, Sherbet and my toddler self go on holiday to Italy, where I'm excited to experience new things and see new places - and so is Sherbet! However, things don't go according to plan when some mischievous burglars try to steal Penelope's jewel necklace and then attempt to steal the crown jewels from the Venice Museum. It's now an outrageous mission to retrieve the missing jewels before the thieves claim them for themselves.

Lost In The Countryside

One morning, Lady Penelope, Parker, Sherbet and my toddler self decide to take a walk and have a picnic in the countryside. However, en route to the woods, we find ourselves lost and must go on a journey to survive the treacherous wilderness - and will Alan brave his first solo mission to rescue us?

Letters To Lady Penelope

Written entirely in letters to Lady Penelope whilst living in a slum in an empty part of Britain, my adult self recounts Lady Penelope's many attempts to raise me, all while encountering the difficulties of parenthood and motherhood, with Parker's help.

The Trials Of Furaha & Orko

When Furaha and Orko are blamed for a crime they didn't commit, they run away from the police into the wild, where they must learn to survive together in the barren wilderness. Kiburi and Ua must band together with their friends to find them.

Pillow Fight

Lady Penelope and I sleep peacefully

Surrounded by crisp white sheets

Lady Penelope's such a nice woman,

The nicest you'll ever meet

But then, WHACK! A pillow thrown over her?

Parker is laughing and Sherbet is yapping

Lady Penelope and I wake up,

It has surely ended our napping!

We hit each other with pillows

While Sherbet barks with glee

Just a tight knit family laughing and yelling,

Lady Penelope, Parker and me

But then Parker falls right off

And lands on the floor below

Lady Penelope and I hug and cheer

Our pillow fight's fun, you know!

Spider Man's Bath

One day Spider Man came to me

When I called him on the phone

He said, “Why not set up a bath around me

Right here in your own home?”

I put a Spider Man bubble blower up first

Then a Spider Man dressing gown

A few simple bath bombs and coloured lights

Never made me frown

I used a blue bath chalk and some plastic finger puppets

Then plastic figurines of superheroes

I hung a plastic Spidey on the edge of the bath

And were the stickers not good? ZERO!

And for a finishing touch I put a foam Spider Man

Into the bath itself

Here ‘e his, relaxing like a chilled dude

Straight from my son’s toy shelf

Now while my son was having a bath

Spider Man was watching outside

His Spidey Senses are tingling,

“I hope he enjoys the ride!”

I'm Always With You

This poem is for you, Lady Penelope...

We've always been together

Since the day I was born

I was just a baby back then,

To protect me you've sworn

You've been busy on missions,

But on some days you didn't care

Because when you spent time at home

For me, you were always there

From cuddles in the morning to warm baths at night,

You've been my mother all these years

You've cared for me with lots of love

And helped me vanquish my fears

This poem is made for you, mum,

So you can finally see

That there's no better girl in the world

Than someone as beautiful as me.
