Short description

Extended description

Packed full of funny Christmas poems, parodies and pastiches, The Peculiar Poetry Book of Funny Christmas Verse distils the true spirit of Christmas - comic, misanthropic, dyspeptic, or sometime just sick.

The collection is presented chronologically, taking the reader in seven easy leaps from the eager anticipation of Christmas, through the fun and festivities, to the bitter aftertaste.

Meet Pip, the ineffably jolly penguin who gets on everyone's wick, revel in the feminist retelling of the story of The Three Wise Men and discover the feminine hygiene product set to be a Christmas sensation. On your travels, take a detour into the strange world that is nonsense verse or pause to enjoy The Interlewd, a selection of risqué or rude poems.

Written by contemporary UK poets Paul Curtis, Patrick Winstanley and Max Scratchmann, the Peculiar Poetry Christmas Collection is as warm, frothy and intoxicating as a pint of beer, and just as unsuitable for children.
