Platypus

Posted on by thomasjdocker

I’m different.

I’m a banjo in a string quartet.
Banana on a pizza.
I’m a fart in a rose garden.
A penguin in Ibiza.

I’m a squirrel with a law degree.
I eat my soup with chopsticks.
In the winter I wear hotpants.
I invite wasps to picnics.

I’m a claustrophobic hermit crab.
I’m forty-nine shades of grey.
I’m Savlon on your fish and chips.
I’m different, but that’s ok.

The lovely platypus sketch is by my talented friend Sarah. Check her out on instagram @ sarah_hobbs_illustrates

I started writing in summer 2017 as a way to process my emotions and provide an outlet for the thoughts and feelings that would otherwise stay locked inside. Natural history and mental health are my main sources of inspiration. Check out my Instagram (thomasjdocker) or look me up on Facebook (Thomas J Docker) for updates about my writing.
