Little Boy
a Darren Poem
Darren was babysitting his nephew. He took him to the park. He hoped to see the rabbit. It wasn’t there. A friend of Darren’s sister bent over the buggy and said, How’s my special little boy? Darren said, I’m fine, thank you, how are you?

Education
a Darren Poem
Whenever he was asked where he studied, Darren would say the University of Life, even though he had a 2:2 from Wolverhampton University.

Smell
Darren noticed how everywhere in Turkey smelt the same. The bazaar, the hotel, and the beach - all smelt like a cocktail of cedar wood, lime, ginger, and cloves. A very pleasant smell. It was only when he returned to Solihull that he realised it was his beard oil.
