This really is not my kind of thing but it's well written and well researched - I detect the writer must have been a submariner:

If you are into naval stuff then you will enjoy this.

is this any good? i want to email to friend for whom it is written but in these circs it is important not to make a bigger ar** of oneself than is strictly necessary.I really dont know. i nerver know until things have matured. is it a decent enough vintage or an overripe Gorgonzola?

To start writing using a name affiliated with one of the most inventive and intelligent songwriters of our, or indeed, any time (and my personal favorite) is a bold move, but for me with this poem you've nailed it.

I've liked much of your work to date, and the improvement from piece to piece is dramatic - but this is the one that's really done it for me.

Love this middle passage:

"insomniac masturbation
a cure all for the
nocturnally challenged
only drains me of
any life that remained"

I'll have that rattling round my head all day.

Your writting is enchanting. I have not read it all. Apoligies but you have many and I'm trying to work my way around it. There is quite a lot of emotion in your writting which is rare. I have thought about which ones I could flag up but just ended up reading for the past two hours without making a decision. Sorry, but I like all that I have read so far. Fantastic work.

Or life.

This hit a chord:

I'd like it expanded - to know what they do in the second half and during extra time. I'd like to follow Jim and Debs' conversation so that they do turn it around.

Please, someone, perform this!
