eBook #4
In the second half of 2014 after I had published all my backlog of material and ideas I found myself with a clean slate, even though my free eBooks were not very successful I decided to continue on another path, a change of strategy. So I thought of writing a set of poems linked by a common theme.
I love wordplay and so I came up with the phrase twelve volts of eccentricity , a collection of twelve poems all about the madness in the world today, most of the poems written here were written reflecting the title I gave the poem, basically I came up with an eccentric title and expanded the idea into a poem. The dancing cats strike back is obviously a tongue in cheek title referring to a certain space opera, and Sad Song was my way of closing the eBook inspired by a rock ballad performed by a group called Poison .
I don’t know if any of you readers listen to rock or metal but sometimes the artist writes a concept album from Queensryche and their Operation Mindcrime or even the stunning Cruelty and the Beast by Cradle of Filth amongst others, sometimes I write my eBooks as if I was writing a concept album, which means my poems will have different rhythms . Basically the start of the eBook / album has to have a strong opener , some softer chimes in the middle and a good last track to tie up the whole concept of the eBook or album, obviously leaving a question mark or an option to make a sequel.
This eccentric piece of work was written in the autumn of 2014, some of it written whilst I was in the waiting room of a dentist, which was an eccentric place to write, especially as I’m living in Italy and the nosey patients couldn’t read what I was writing because nobody knows English. This eBook currently has 1200 downloads to its name, yet nobody has reviewed this piece.

We all need power it seems
We all need a reason to live
In a film with happily ever afters
Everyone lives to give
They the ones with perfect lawns
The ones with not a care in the world
Everybody a clone of 1950s America
All living the American dream
Fast forward to the apocalypse
The year 2014
There is total chaos out there
There has always been
A power house and a substation
Something to generate the supply
The whole world has gone eccentric
The whole world is about to die
This is no blockbuster movie
Arnold and Bruce do not make an appearance
Rocky cannot win this battle
And the Terminator looks lame compared to this
There is a community meltdown
We have lost all loyalty
Welcome to the end of days
And 12 volts of Eccentricity
We will jolt you into thinking
We shock your treatment
That tingling in your nervous system
Is my voice of wisdom and justice
We need to educate the kids
In a proper decent way
The politicians should be fined a week’s wage
