For the first time, and now in softcover edition, the general
public can enjoy what has up to now been a treat available only to
the few - the comic songs of Con O Drisceoil. For the past couple
of decades these songs have been passed around and savoured by
those who delight in the pleasures of improbable stories and witty
verse. Several have been recorded by Jimmy Crowley, Rosie Stewart
and others, and some of them have become modern 'folk songs',
having entered the living tradition and being transmitted from
singer to singer. Here you will find many intriguing tales: the
birthday cake with extraordinary properties; the cockroach who
debates nice points of philosophy with his victim; the awful fate
of the man who rattled his spoons once too often, and many more.
The author's capacity for creating bizarre situations is matched by
his ability to capture them, as he himself remarks, "in flawless
rhyme" and "in a metre without blemishes" A genuinely funny and
captivating collection, both as sing-along folk songs or as
stand-alone stories and comic verse.
