An eclectic collection of poems that will make you laugh,
cry and think. John Eaton sees the world through a unique lens. His insights
span the world about us, the environment, sport, travel, the human psyche,
politics, the animal world, and more.
You'll enjoy his mischievous pen as he challenges self-importance,
champions the underdog, and shatters plastic ceilings.
Comprises 116 poems including:
Billly and Benny (the Flowerpot Men-ny), a poem about terracotta
friends;
Jackboot and Jillboot - odes to his and hers' footwear;
And covering subjects that hit the national headlines ... such
as Barnard Castle:
'Barnard Castle is the place to be,
A pleasant journey for my family
Where I can quarantine flexibly
To test my eyesight specifically.
...'
And things that are neither here or there ...
'I went to a rendezvous to see Ron Devue.
I thought I had deja vu but jamais vu.'
