If laughter is the best medicine then this book is the prescription. It is a collection of humorous and sometimes cynical observations on the trials and tribulations of an ordinary harassed individual, attempting to work and live in modern day Ireland.
It finally addresses some of the great mysteries of life such as “Where do old cars go when they die?” and “Why can we never find socks that match?” In addition it offers an insight to the behaviour of that rare and nearly extinct species whose natural habitat until recently has been the building site, lest we forget.
Rascal
We had a new arrival in our household today,
Of the canine variety-four legs and a tail.
It was a democratic decision.
I was all of a tizzy.
Should I clean up the house?
Tidy the wardrobe or dust in the corners?
What would she think of us?
Would she approve?
When we went to collect her
She was very polite.
We received our instructions
And listened intently to every word.
We returned home all excited,
I think she really liked us and felt right at home.
The first thing she did
Was leave her card on my mat
