Coffee Table Rhymes

“My sister cleans her bedroom In twenty seconds flat. She sweeps the dirt into a pile Then underneath the mat.” A selection of comic verse on such subjects as fraught relationships, untrustworthy professionals, quirky pets and even quirkier family members. Nothing too dark or serious here, just a set of cleverly written, instantly quotable epigrams, along with a handful of longer poems that combine humour with insight. Truly, the perfect book to leave around for guests to pick up and flip through – on the coffee table, of course!
