Charles Wylie has been quietly badgered for years by family and friends to publish his poetry, so here we have some about friends. (Please let me know if we are still friends after you read what I've written.)

Of all the pleasant things in the world to do, dining with friends comes second only to dining with family. Some of what follows germinated over the dinner table after a memorable remark by the unwary.

Charles reckons that if he can write poetry then so can almost anyone else. he hopes that readers will be inpired to have a go. What are you waiting for? I'm sure you can do better than this, and it's certainly a lot of fun.
