Dark Side: Verse Humour about Troglodytes and Other Strange FolkJanus Publishing Company Lim, 2005 - 99 pages Exploiting the natural rhythms of traditional English poetry along with the power of rhyme, G. F. McHugh brings a modern perspective to comic verse, whether the subject be primitive cave dwellers evocative of the Neanderthals, the aged inhabitants of an English village, or a miscellany of weird characters. The unlikely relationship of these varied folk to modern awareness is evoked in brief, hard-hitting poems that must produce, in readers young and mature, an irreverent chuckle. |
