A collection of comic poems and prose pieces from the brain and pen of A.F. Harrold.
Some of them have to do with baths, some with historical figures, some with biscuits and some with sailors. In short, there's something for everyone who likes baths, saiilors, history or biscuits in this book.
The Kindle edition adds half a dozen brand new poems that weren't in the original print edition. Crikey, what a gift.
'Much more fun than a rubber duck.' - Elvis McGonagall
'George Eliot dancing a fandango, a voyage to Trousers Island, an analysis of the etymology of jammy dodgers - this volume has everything one has come to expect from the canyons of A.F. Harrold's extraordinary imagination. Except yaks. There are no yaks. Which is curious.' - Elvis McGonagall
'A.F. Harrold's poems are the kippers knickers.' - Elvis McGonagall
