Raptor in the Garden

I am sorry
I beg your pardon?
Did you say there's a Velociraptor in your garden?

If there is then please take care
It's well known
They don't like to share.

They'll turn on you
with a moments notice,
Not just you, but me and Otis.

This could be our 'end of days'
Underneath his steely wicked gaze.

The raptors laugh and scurry along, exclaiming "this has been a curious song!"

And they're right because you see, they never liked living in our tree?

John Frank Trent

I am living with Stage 4 lung cancer that has spread to my brain. These are my thoughts. It is a combination of serious articles and more light hearted stuff (like my ridiculous poems). Early articles are a bit heavy, but hopefully it becomes a little more light hearted! This is not a self help site there will be no advice on cancer related matters just my thoughts. Just for the record my name is Iain Trent, I am using the Blog name of John Frank because they are the names of my Grandads. I did not want this blog to jump up to anyone who searched for me so it is a way of providing some limited anonymity hopefully without being a catfish.
