Here is Susan McCartney with The F Word


THE ‘F-WORD’

I’m fixated by the ‘F-Word’
It’s my reason to be
I think about it constantly
I bet you’re thinking
That this dame is sinking
Into the muck
With a focus on the f***!
You’d be wrong
I’m stringing you along
I’m not being rude
My ‘F-Word’ is food

When I was young
It was a different song
Not much of the ‘F-Word’ on the menu
Mostly potatoes and carrots in a stew
Fresh meat a luxury to chew
Chicken came once each December
Not fresh, tinned, I remember
A treat not so fantastic!
Out it slid in a slick of aspic

Salmon, canned, past its sell by date
Kept in the pantry just in case
Company came around to eat
For a fishy mashed up, sandwich treat
Post-war tins of ham and spam
Rusted, scarcely consumable
But handy in case of a funeral

I joined the Waffs and to other foods
My eyes opened
In ’68 the menu broadened
In the queue in the Mess
Says the chef with a face quite sly
‘Do you want stuffing?’
Little me, naïve, shy

Yes says I and the rest
Pile on that turkey breast
To 3 squares we were blessed
And rice came not as a pudding
Brown from the oven
But stirred and fried with prawns and spice
The magic of curry and rice

 Fried rice, rice honey
Curry spice, spice honey
It’s my vice, vice honey
Don’t ask me twice, twice honey
Don’t wanna be rude, rude honey
I’m in the mood, mood honey
Grilled or stewed, stewed honey
For some food, food
For food!

FOOD It’s my crack, horse,skunk my weed
Take me, take me
To my next feed
The other ‘F-Word’ is out of the window
Gimme a guy to make me a dinner
I wanna a man with a frying pan
Okay I’m hooked
My goose is cooked
I admit I’m fixated
And won’t be placated
With anything else but
FOOD!

Gimme grease, grease honey
Let me feast, feast honey
Gimme fries, fries honey
Giant size, size honey
Bake me cake, cake honey
Don’t make me wait, wait honey
I’m in the mood, mood honey
For some food, food honey
For food!

Susan

About the Author


Neville Raper invented You Tube, has swum the channel twice and is a habitual liar.
He lives in Yorkshire, where just like the locals, he says what he likes and likes what he says.
Broadcaster, Author, blogger, Neville is an occasional stand-up, and regular sit down.


Message from the Author.

Hi, thank you for buying this book unless you stole it, then shame on you.
Seriously, I hope you enjoy the stories within. A lot of people ask where I get the ideas from so I’ve taken the liberty of sharing the inspiration of each one. I hope that this may inspire you to write your own.
I’d like to say that this has been a long hard road to get to this point, but honestly, it hasn’t. I find writing a pleasure and having my work read a joy.
My ultimate goal is to write something that I would like to read and by doing so, hopefully, something you will enjoy reading as well.
So sit back, dim the lights, but not so much that you can’t read, and come with me on a journey.
These are all stories of ‘what if.' for isn’t that what life is all about?

Yours Forever
Neville

It was a pleasure to read this book. Neville Raper is clearly a genuinely funny man. His engaging and self-deprecating sense of humour runs through these stories, but this is a lot more than just a funny book. Some of these stories explore the dark side of life and have a powerful sting in the tail (and tale).
This is not run-of-the-mill fiction. It is different, quirky and original.
I enjoy Neville’s easy style. He says that he enjoys writing and it shows. He has a real way with words. He uses excellent imagery in these pages and reveals himself as an astute observer of mankind.
I look forward to reading more of the work of this very promising writer.

Random Joke
Just finished watching the Women's football and I'm not sure what to think. The diving, the cheating, the childish behaviour...football just isn't the same without it.
