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. For the first time 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. 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.
