Advanced Nouvelle Cuisine

A selection of whinges and Grumpy Old Man poems to celebrate the unexpected achievement of octogenarian status, which seems to happily coexist with a mental age of just twenty three on a good day.
Dedicated to all my surviving friends, and those many more passed but fondly remembered, with special mention of Hawkins and Simpson.
Not forgetting my long suffering wife, and fellow poet, Sue, and my late wife Irene.
Let battle commence and enjoyment, hopefully, follow.
