broke a nail with the damn
collar button
a shirt without a button
has a certain merit
so easy to don or off
so let the beard grow
the price of elegance
too great these days
and let my hair grow[/otw_shortcode_content_box]
[otw_shortcode_about_us image_url="http://ninetyoverninety.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/Daley-Peter-2-287x300.jpg" name="Dr. Peter Henry Daley"]Dr. Peter Henry Daley was born November 9, 1924 and spent his early life in Barnsley, Yorkshire, England. He qualified for the practice of medicine in 1949 and served his country in the Canal Zone in Egypt. He later spent his career in the National Health Service of England. He and his family immigrated to New Zealand and eventually settled in Australia.
Mr. Daley has written several books, including "Metaphysics and The New Age" (available on Amazon). He only began writing poetry, a subject he disliked in school, after finishing his first book and joining the local writers group.
Having retired from medical practice in 1989, he now enjoys life with his son in Australia. He continues to write and lecture on his favorite subjects, philosophy and metaphysics. [/otw_shortcode_about_us]
