The following poems and rhymes are in several sections. The first section contains things that I wrote during my time at Northrop Aircraft, and reflect on some thoughts that passed through my mind from 1970 through to my retirement in 1995. Additional ones that occurred after this time also appear, if they are associated with some of the folks I am still in touch with. The second section contains things that occurred to me as I read entries on the "Windsor School BFES" web site. Some of them are answers to statements made by a few of the ex-students within the site's forums. The next section contains poems that have been written since I started volunteering for the South Bay branch of the Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP). The next three sections contain comments on current news events, comments on the political scene and some of the things that have happened to me since retirement and other items arising from various e-mails that I receive from time to time. The last section contains poems that I have written since becoming a member of "The Royal Society of Saint George."
