Wry wit and observation in 102 poems, I Think I Thought details both a dark side to growing up, girlfriends and gastro-pubs, and a gently light side to old age - despite its attendant malfunctions and memory loss. All of these we meet a-plenty on the poet’s long haul from nappies to near-dotage, pausing along the way to reflect on some of life’s unwelcome changes – from the loss of Sharps Toffee, the Empire, flea circuses and doctors who do home visits; to the advent of longer licensing hours, synchronized swimming, greengrocers’ “apostrophe’s” and a possible need to origami one’s Andrex.
