Kidstuff by Dave Wynne-Jones

Kidstuff This is the first collection of poetry by an experienced writer. Described as a book of 'poems to share with children' it will appeal to adults and children alike covering all aspects of growing up, from the excitement of Lunar Exploration to the routines of Christmas; the different pains of First Love or Tooth Trouble; trying to decide whether your dad's a Mugger or a He-Man.


This book is also full of accompanying drawings from the inimitable pen of Jim Whittaker.

He-Man

I'm a real person.
Are you?

It must be great not to be real,
not to have to worry
about ponging in public
or how to stop the hairs growing
out of your nose.

I wish I could be He-Man
with furry knickers
and a sword stuck
down the back of my jumper,
and never need to go for a piss
in moments of crisis.
(I wonder where the toilets are
in Eternia....)
I could talk American
and be simple-minded
and schizophrenic
knowing I'll always win
(It's written in!)
Instead of sitting here
scratching my head
and wondering how
it'll all turn out in...

THE END


(He-Man first appeared in issue six of the Writer's Muse magazine.)
