I have this piece i wrote two or three years back. It's only words as i could never find the right sound to go with it to complete it as a song. I am rather proud of it, it being one of my first efforts as a lyricist. In lew of its musical defficency i've decided to enter the piece into the 2006 national poetry competition.
I have never considered myself a poet (i find the term far too pretentious) and i dont consider myself to have the talent of Neil Hannon, Eminem or Morrissey (wordsmiths i admire) for lyrical prose but i reckon i should see this one through, see if any other artistic community might be willing to welcome me in even if it is just for a cuppa and a natter...

Mr Edwards' Opus
Huzzah!
With a need to bury myself in an activity today, i pitted my wits against a song i've been trying to complete for months. I changed my focus from the rythm section (my forte i suppose) to the melody and by golly i think i've cracked it. There is one specific detail missing; the string sound i need doesnt come in any octave lower than F5. It wont be the song it wants to be until then. boobies!

World Wide Suicide
I was asked last week wether i wanted to go see guns n' roses in Dublin in June. After much deliberation, i decided why not. It'll be first big gig (would've been the only but read on) of the year and i'll also get to fly in an aeroplane for the first time ever.
i were looking at all the recent guns n' roses news on the net, in light of my upcoming excursion to the emerald isle, wondering why exactly GnR have suddenly decided to resurface (not with the original line up. that'd be bonkers). I was gripped suddenly by memeories of seing GnR 4 years ago at the leeds festival. This and sheer curiosity sent me to google so that i might trawl the internet for any news on the line up for this leeds carling weekend. Now, what was posted as rumour on one website had me scouring further. To my surprise, my childlike, first present on christmas day, brand new puppy surprise, i can tell the world this:
PEARL JAM ARE TOURING THE WORLD THIS YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And leeds bound they seem to be
I am officially the most exited man ever................
