Publication Day

Today a new volume arrives/
Of verses on old royal lives/
From Alfred to Liz;/
The name of it iz/
“There Once Was a Man With Six Wives”.///

Yes, today’s the day – the second Mick Twister limerick history book is out in the UK. Also in Europe I believe, but not till May in North America, I’m afraid. Not sure about elsewhere. Here’s the Amazon link – according to preference you can also get it online direct from the publisher, Pavilion, or from Waterstones, Guardian books etc. Then I hope in some physical shops in a few weeks – Geezer is still on sale in the British Museum shop, and I know Pavilion’s hoping for take up in museum and royal palace gift shops etc, despite my irreverent take on royalty.

I hope you enjoy it – and if you do, please leave a review wherever you bought it.

Mick

Farage’s European Unions

A Frenchwoman’s lover named Farage/

Is joined to a German by marriage,/

Though closer relations/

With such EU nations/

We tend to hear Farage disparage.///

The Great Brassica Massacre

The rain falls in Spain in the main/
On fields of the Murcian plain,/
Destroying the crops,/
And so in our shops/
A few wilted icebergs remain.///

Trump Gets Hump

An old man who grabs genitalia/
Hung up on a chap from Australia,/
For President Trump/
It seems got the hump,/
Declaring their convo a failure.///

https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2017/feb/02/australia-struggling-to-save-refugee-agreement-after-trumps-fury-at-dumb-deal

OK, the genitalia reference is gratuitous, but it seems a waste to rhyme Australia with anything else. And let’s not forget what he is, eh!
