That Damned Fly - A Life In Verse

Life is full of ups and downs.

Gary Powell reflects on a secure but challenging start in life followed by a police career that took him all over the United Kingdom and the world, witnessing the aftermath of many significant events. These reflections are often in verse ranging from crime and riot to the lighter side of life featuring everyday issues that concern us all be it: the lack of high street banks to the taxman or the need for an English national anthem to the magnificence of St Paul-s Cathedral.

The poems will make you laugh or shed a tear; and reflect life in modern-day Britain.
