It's the end of the night, and all you want to do is put the kids to bed so you can get down to your real loves: porn and Mad Dog 20/20. But first there is the tucking in and the story reading. You could go with the classics, Dr. Seuss or Goodnight Moon. But that's not really your style. If only there were something hipper, edgier, with more references to crack pipes. That's the kind of book you want to read to your kids. If only your little ones could stay this age until Amy Winehouse finally releases a children's book. Our very own Fox in Socks, FemaleFirst, reports:
Amy Winehouse wants to write a children's book.The troubled singer has been writing poems about her life after being inspired by her friend, Babyshambles rocker Pete Doherty, and hopes to inspire youngsters with her literary offerings.
A source said: "Amy's been stimulated since living in St. Lucia. She loves the chilled out atmosphere and has found it has encouraged her to write again.
"Pete Doherty once told her that poetry was a good way to express yourself so she thought writing a book of poems about her life would be a fine start.
"She really wants to write a children's book one day so thought a book of poems would be great practice."
The 'Rehab' star – who fell in love with St. Lucia while on an extended holiday and is now planning to buy a house on the Caribbean island to keep her away from temptations in London – is writing deeply personal material and hopes it will help people understand her better.
The source added to Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "One of her poems is called 'Desire' and is based on her yearning to be loved and to give love.
"Amy is so happy with the results she's even let her bodyguard read her scribbles to understand her."
That bodyguard probably has a really deep understanding of Amy's inner soul now.
My name is Amy Winhouse
I do not look like a mouse
Today I will eat a peach
Then I will go to the beach
And I will not cover up my tits
Man, I could really use some hits
See what we mean? That last line, it has meaning. Because Amy could really use a couple more hit songs, but a few drags off a bong or a crack pipe would do her just as well. Deep.
