About the Author Born in Dublin where wit and charm become second nature, Tony Dawson enjoys giving people a good laugh. Before karaoke machines were invented Tony enjoyed getting up on stage at a sing-a-long. Taking a popular song he would spin the words into a comical ditty much to the enjoyment of his fun loving audience. This would seem in sharp contrast to his chosen profession of air radio engineer. Here exacting, serious consideration is required for people's safety. Perhaps there is no difference. It seems the same consideration of words has been applied to these poems.

Excerpts

COMPUTERS
Garbage in means garbage out is simply known as GIGO.
Computer nerds will brag about acronyms that they know.
The internet's a source of information to inspire us,
Unless of course some vengeful foe sends a complicated virus.

EURO US INTO EUROPE
Long lanky island between Ireland and France,
Don't want to join in a European dance.
Coin of the realm fills their piggy banks,
Languages are difficult - only talk to Yanks.

OUIJA BOARD
We're calling Mick on the other side - you passed away last month,
Your betting buddies are all here and they want to have a punt.
The Grand National at Aintree is taking place tomorrow,
And a big win at the bookies will alleviate their sorrow.
