Hello again.
One of the interesting things about the age of the internet is that it evolves. I have discovered that the best way for me to pass on latest news to adults is via facebook, twitter and a blog. So, if you're interested you can find me in these three places chatting away most days. Please note again: 'for adults'!
Quite a few people recently have asked me where they can find the words of 'Chocolate Cake'. As you probably know there is a video of me performing 'Chocolate Cake' right here, along with 91 other poems filmed by my son Joe plus some other videos of me in performance from BBC Learning in Scotland and the like.
The words of 'Chocolate Cake' are in my book of poems: 'Quick Let's Get Out of Here'. It's in print and published by Puffin Books.
