Ringwood, Hants, UK

I was born on 15th January 1963, along with my twin sister, who is the one oldest by two minutes. I have two nephews and one niece. Having left school in 1979, I have worked at Stanley Gibbons since 1982 and being in the Red Cross until the age of 21. I am one of the first Aiders at work. I enjoy reading, walking and writing poems and also collectiong elephants. Having adopted one ajok out in Kenya, he was the subject of my first poem.

If

If night was day
And day was night,
Then white should be black
And blace would be white,
If blue was the grass.
And green was the sky
Then birds would walk
And animals would fly.
If long was short
And short was long,
Then stong would be weak
And weak would be strong
If I were you
And you were me.
Then what a strange place.
The world would be.
