A Collection of Punny Poems
Torrible Puns is a fun filled collection of the wonderful usage of language presented in a way that expands the vernacular, while encouraging exploration of the diversity of so many of the words that sound similar, but have vastly different meanings, which populate with abandon, the English language.
Tricia Torrible takes everyday events such as a game of golf, dratted Homework, a tea party for Teddy and even the Moon, creating some very, very funny rhyming poems that will provoke some serious laughter.
Rhyming words, words with double meaning and even groan-worthy, punch lines make up thirty poems, some long, others of only a few words, which will entertain and delight with their many meanings.
Puns were once commonplace amongst children and adults, frequently being made up on the spur of moment, before the modern age of internet took away the gift of conversation and the colourful vocabulary that made up slang, reflecting the culture of the country with the informal use of language.
It is an absolute delight to see that in the funny, laugh out loud collection of Torrible Puns, there could be a revolution beginning, as puns tend to be catching and any young person who reads this book will definitely have to share the many poems with their friends.
P.S. Adults will enjoy it as well, so look out Kids, make sure you hide it from Mum and Dad.
