Storytelling in rhymn. A collection of poems from Dizzy Spells who has drawn heavily on personal experience to create these wonderfully touching accounts of the range of human emotions and ungodly thoughts that we are all susceptible to. Dizzy Spells grew up in a typical dis-functional family in the 60's and 70's. Back then it was socially acceptable for men to openly ogle women and make sexist derogatory remarks - that were just jokes. If women didn't find them funny, they were regarded as lacking a sense of humor, frigid or lesbians! Those Carry on films have got a lot to answer for. Imagine if you will, you're watching one of them.You hear sleazy saxophone music. What always happens next? The camera zooms in for a close up of the women's bits. From an early age Dizzy developed a personality and sense of humor described as strange, quirky, un-ladylike or just plain rude. Dizzy was walking down the road with her Mother and an old man came walking towards them with a giant hernia. Dizzy openly stared in repulsed fascination and as he got level with them she said to her Mother; Did you see the size of his balls and immediately received a heavy blow to the back of her head from her Mother. Thank goodness we've moved on since then. Well some of us anyway. Words like unisex, equality, respect, and political correctness and my favorite, gender tourism, have helped shape our society as it is today, and informs us in moving forward in a positive and harmonious and healthy way. It's only now that we all know and accept - MEN that when a woman says no, she means no! And the kind of behavior that was once regarded as an obsessive love interest has now thankfully been relabeled stalking. Even so, society is still dealing with the fallout of those ignorant times in the form of drug addicts, drunks, flakes and weirdos, mental health sufferers and maniacs. We all know children learn what they live, and in Dizzy's case it explains a lot! Her poems cover diverse subjects with such an unashamed simple and sometime brutal honesty that makes the reading of them easy and refreshing.
