For BOARD BILL'S HOT 100 I've taken the titles of 100 of my favourite songs and written a poem to them. Most times the poem has little or nothing to do with the content or indeed sentiment of the song, but in one or two instances I felt I had no choice. Some songs have been either written or covered by other artists, and I've specified my own particular preference when stating which singer or band is my favourite. Similarly, many songs of the same name have been recorded over the years, and again I've referenced my particular choice. I write novels, that's what I like to do, but I also use poetry as a mechanism for keeping my brain active, tossing words and rhymes around with abandon and seeing how they land. Hopefully, it's butter side up. There's a dual purpose to this collection. The first is to get people to read my work, and, equally important, to nudge them towards some fine tunes. The title, in case you hadn't already guessed, is a play on the American Billboard Chart.
