Verse And Worse

Random Wit, Errant Rhyme. Not A Literary Crime

We're on the Queen Mary, at the captain's table
The first mate says the gyroscope's stable
St Elmo's fire, I've heard, is no seagoing fable
But I want to know, is this broadband or cable?

Verse And Worse

Random Wit, Errant Rhyme. Not A Literary Crime

We're on the Queen Mary at the captain's table
The skipper of the vessel looks just like Clark Gable
There's a cad wearing denim with a must-be-seen label
While the women are all wearing ermine and sable

Are You Michael's Shoe Marker?

Looking For A Rear Fission Mirror

Photographs copyright: DAVID McMAHON


Okay, so I'm curious. Everyone photographs Formula One cars from the front and side. But admit it - when was the last time you saw an F1 car photographed from behind? These shots were taken during the Australian Grand Prix a couple of years ago, but I've never published them before. Certainly provides a fresh perspective, doesn't it? While on the subject of unusual views, I'd love to photograph the QE2 or the new Queen Mary in dry dock - from right underneath the hull. Now that's a dream shot!
