Taking a swipe at stuffiness, this sly collection shows Prelutskys robust appreciation of the absurd. Humour at its best from one of Americas funniest poets. At the farms karate festivalthe lambs and mules were tops.The mules excelled at kicking,but the lambs had better chops. Over one hundred hilarious poems from a poet who has created a world where it rains pigs and noodles, hapless Peter turns into a parking meter, its awkward being taller than the average giraffe and where you should watch out for something lurking deep in the refrigerator. You can meet an underdog who is overweight, dancing hippopotami, sniffing snutterwudds, the worlds fastest turtle and Scottish pigs on stilts
