This wonderful anthology contains some of the nation's all-time
favourite comic poetry. From much-loved classics such as Lewis
Carroll's curious 'Jabberwocky' to lesser known and forgotten gems
such as Gelett Burgess's 'The Purple Cow', Griff Rhys Jones takes
us on a poetic tour of witty, nonsensical and plain laugh-out-loud
funny poems. The selection brings together poets from every age and
every walk of life, from Shakespeare to Victoria Wood and from
Keats to Benjamin Zephaniah. There is Roald Dahl's cunning
variation on 'Little Red Riding Hood', Spike Milligan's brilliantly
ridiculous 'On the Ning Nang Nong' as well as several entries from
the ever-elusive Anon, including one delightfully succint 'Peas'.
Remembered, half-remembered, cherished or written on a tea towel,
here are some of the nation's favourite comic poems.
