Dead Funny

DEAD FUNNY is one of four sparkling new collections of nonsense poems which mark the return of Collins Children's Books to poetry publishing. John Foster is a well-known poet and teacher. His book, Wham Bang Orangutan is hugely popular (published OUP). New and existing material has been brought together to provide this morbidly humorous collection. Well-known poets include Roger McGough, Paul Cookson, Eric Finney and John Foster himself. Susan avoided the cracks with careAnd always trod upon the square;An unwise move, she was to discover -She stepped on a manhole without a cover.Carol Carman
