Product Description

A delightful melange of quirky poems by one of this country's most popular poets. my doggie don't wear glasses; so they're lying when they say; a dog looks like its owner; aren't they; John Hegley's doggie may not wear glasses, but then she is a carrot. Enter this celebrated poet's weird, witty and bespectacled world and meet Grandma with her filthy glasses, the organic leek who has learned how to speak, the octopus who gets a nasty shocktopus, the man who drew his cornflakes and a whole cast of other interesting characters. Surprising, serious, and sometimes just plain surprising, this is a collection of poems even your dog might like. Unless, of course, your dog is a carrot too.

About the Author
John Hegley was very glad to be given a pair of glasses at the age of twelve - he'd wanted some since he was five. Many years later he worked with two children's theatre companies: Soapbox and Professor Dogg's Troupe, before becoming the popular and highly original stand-up comedian, poet, singer, songwriter and glasses-wearer that he is today. John Hegley has bendy hands and his dog ran away in 1985.

Strange title, ace poems!
I got this for my birthday and at first i was a little unsure about it after reading the title, but it is a very fun little book of poems! Funny, random anything really.... well, any type of poem apart from serious ones!
