About this ebook
An anthology of 39 poems written over the course of 40 years by British equalities specialist and award winning campaigner Christine Burns MBE. A mixture of humorous and thoughtful poems on themes related to living, loving and leaving. What do you do when cats won't stay buried? Is there a use for bastards? And is a teddy bear really a girl's best friend? In more thoughtful vein, the collection deals with identity, lesbian love, disability, and the reality of life on the internet's highway. There is something for everyone. This anthology will make you smile and think and smile again.
