When the British came to Oz, They called it New South Wales ‘cos They gazed upon those sun-kissed lands, The swaying palms, the golden sands, And said “This place we’ve landed on, see, We’ve named because it's just like Swansea.” Are you ever annoyed by TV newsreaders when they sit on sofas, or are unwilling to pronounce difficult foreign names? If so, this is the book for you. In Ian’s traditional style, Stupid Poems 12 features a unique combination of highbrow interests and a childish sense of humour. There are the usual sideways takes on familiar themes, which in this case include ‘Waltzing Matilda’, garden pests and the classical myth of Dido and Aeneas.

This volume will be of particular interest if you are Australian, Welsh, or a goat
