I have a friend

Who lives in St Ives

She is an artist

Who likes to sculpt

A number of her works

Litter my garden

Mostly nudes

And the occasional cat

She is more famous

For her colourful abstracts

But her figurative paintings

Are much admired

I would have liked

To have been an artist

But I have no real talent

So I write detective novels

Which sell very well

My most popular character

Is Inspector Robert Honey

Who is also an artist

And when not solving crimes

Lives with his beautiful sister

Jain Roberta

In a small rural cottage

Near Lamorna Cove
