I am a teacher of English who works in the Special Needs Room at Turriff Academy in Aberdeenshire. |
I want to become a professional lyric writer by attracting a composer with whom I can collaborate |
I aim to produce song lyrics by mastering verse forms before engaging in lyrical experimentation |
I like football, and I am a fan of Aberdeen Football Club. It has been claimed that those two attituded do not always go together. |

My favourite genres are horror fiction, humour and, of course poetry. |
The Collected Poems of W H Auden is probably my favourite collection. Tom Wolfe's The Right Stuff is superb non-fiction, and Bleak House by Dickens is my favourite novel. |
I love Franz Kafka, Evelyn Waugh, Charles Dickens, Sir Walter Scott and Douglas Adams. |
The late Romantics are excellent, but W H Auden is the greatest. Aongst song lyricists, I admire Lorenz Hart, Don Black and Noel Coward. |
From the twisted timbers of humanity, nothing straight was ever made. Alexander Pope |
I love Radiohead, The Waterboys and The Beach Boys. |
Mel Brook's The Producers is my top movie of all time. I also like Spinal Tap and The Maltese Falcon. |
