    (This poem can be considered a sequel to my earlier work: An Appeal To Ye Olde Employer) Note Of Dedication: To thou, whose beard doth traileth low and doth greatly render thee akin to the wild beasts of the earth and the most ancient horrors of folklore; and who, through the grosseth surge of hairy…

    Hello folks- I thought I’d mention the fact that I’ve recently released a new three-track EP entitled: 5…4…3…2…1… which tells the story of mankind fleeing a dying Earth for the red sands of Mars!
