By Lyn Funnell
Oh nose of mine, I’m stuck with you
And feel I’m truly cursed.
How is it that, where’ere I go
You always get there first?
You’re small and fat, and curl so much
That every time there’s rain
It pours inside my nose and I
Get water on the brain.
I could have an operation,
But I must admit it’s true
That of all the noses in the world
I know that I’d pick you!
Author Bio:
Lyn had very successful careers as an Air Hostess, Sales Rep, (she was one of only a couple of women. She beat all the men regularly, becoming the Top Rep in the UK, and 2nd in the world.) And then Catering took over. She did everything from the washing-up, to Silver Service Waitress, and Chef. A few times, she had to cook the meal, dash round the other side and Silver Serve it! She collected all interesting recipes while she worked.
In between all this, she wrote as often as she could, building up a reputation as a published short story writer, (Horror and a twist in the tale,) and a Poet. She has appeared as a Performing Poet, and a Demo Chef. Then she discovered the world of the Food & Travel Writer. And that’s what she has continued doing to this day. She has continued to collect interesting recipes from different countries.
She enjoys entering Competitions, submitting her original recipes. She was first in many Competitions, including the Good Housekeeping Millenium Menu, Fruits of France, Bernard Matthews Turkey Recipe, and appeared on BBC’s The One Show Spag Bol contest. She was one of three Finalists, coming 2nd, which makes her Britain’s Spag Bol Queen!
After several years of being messed around by Editors, and having loads of contacts, Lyn formed her own online Magazine, vowing to treat her writers fairly, and to do everything possible to further their careers, publicise their books, etc. She had a band of excellent regular writers, and the Magazine went from strength to strength!
Lyn has several books published on Amazon.
Her publishers are Michael Terence Publishing.
