Twimericks

En savoir plus sur le livre

Pure the Twimerick , a fiendish confection of limerick plustongue-twister, topped off by the deliciously whacky illustrations of its inventor, Lou Brooks. To wit (and to be read out loud quickly):A petulant flatulent platypus starts,To tooting and flouting his flute to his farts,But at platypus outings,His flatulent floutings,Flout his flute flat at thetootiest parts.Nonsensical whimsy―or whimsical nonsense―Twimericks are a form of wordplay that are irresistible for kids, as well as for grown-ups unafraid to be silly; perfect to be read at parties or in a classroom when learning poetry (that’s right, who knew poetry could be so much fun?). And the book itself, like the best poetry collections, is a gem offering one Twimerick per page, each illustrated in full-color by the author, a legendary commercial artist. Open to any page and feel the unbridled creative energy spilling out. It's pure happiness.
