Publisher's Synopsis
Busby's poetry collection is an absurd, witty, and sometimes heartfelt random assortment of poetry. Poems such as ‘Jiggery Topiary' and ‘The Encounter' display Busby's witty and bawdy humour as he links the mundane to the nonsensical, transforming everyday occurrences into ones bound in hilarity and farce. His creative use of language and rhyme is showcased in ‘Hashtag Nativity' - a twenty-first century twist on the Nativity of Jesus, in which a sat-nav guides the wise men to the stable. However, Busby's collection also wanders into themes of sentimentally and hope, such as ‘Mrs Mrs?' in which Busby transforms the heavy topic of dementia into something light-hearted yet still deeply profound. As the title suggests, Busby haphazardly interweaves humour and sincerity, absurdity, and reality, to produce a merry and amusing collection of poetry which will keep you on your toes from beginning to end.
