MOTHER'S DAY SPECIALS! SHOW ME MORE
This indefinitive collection brings together under one cover the very best comic writing - parody, poetry, prose, plays, philosophy and political treatise - by Australia's greatest living television host.
THRILL to the meta-ironic existential crisis in the Rocky universe; GASP as you learn what happened to Scrooge in the days following A Christmas Carol; DISCOVER what it takes to pass for human in an increasingly convoluted post-Robodebt world.
PLUS, there are limericks like this:
There once was a poet who thought
Using words like fought, ought and wrought
Brought a purity sought
But it all came to nought
When he ended his last line with drought.

'An erudite, insightful and witty collection of entertaining bits and pieces.' - ArtsHub 'A ""miscellany"" is a fitting word for this absurdist assemblage of writings, parodies and self-deprecating pontifications, all with an unashamedly old-school literary and philosophical bent'. The Age/The Sydney Morning Herald 'Some comedians slow down as the years pass, but Micallef may just be getting started'. - The Weekend Australian 'It's the kind of anthology that will make you laugh out loud'. - Gourmet Traveller
