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.

Bob's Sick Day

I am not going out with Bob today

It's because he's ill, and that's okay

I have once been ill before

I once had a cold and now my head is sore


But don't worry about Bob, he's got it all sorted out

He's never alone with his kids and wife about

He's watching his son making videos online

And even his toddler's doing just fine


Maybe he'll spend time talking to his wife

His partner in the crime, the love of his life

While his toddler watches Raa Raa The Noisy Lion,

Bob stays home and I'm not lying


In one half hour I'm heading to bed

To stop my achy, weary head

It's because of stress that my head is in pain,

So I'm never going to buy another phone again!


Furaha's Headache

Furaha one day had a sore head

From the moment she woke up and got out of bed

Orko and her parents cared for her so

How did they care for her? About time you know!


Furaha lay on the sofa and groaned

While Orko gave her a teddy he owned

He fed her warm and nourishing soup

Which sent her eyeballs into a loop


She lay on the sofa and rested in peace

Orko covered a blanket over her, and at least

She got some rest, a little luxury too

"There," said Orko, "Just me and you."


Orko snuggled beside Furaha

And wrapped her arms around her tight

See? We knew he loved her

Her headache will go tonight.
