## Description

These are dark days. The world is seething with imbeciles and poltroons. Everywhere the careless and thoughtless are charging about the place in hulking 4x4s, or inviting Channel 4 to come around rather than clean their own homes. So comedian Chris Addison has written CAUTIONARY TALES FOR GROWN-UPS - poems to illustrate the dangers of modern behaviour. The tales include: * The Gloucestershire Horse Club, Who posed Naked for a Charity Calendar. * Phillip, who talked only in Management Speak * Myfanwy, Who answered an Email from a Nigerian Bank Manager * and Fiona and Dave, who had a Wacky Wedding Sparklingly wicked and cunningly illustrated, this is a hilarious Struwelpeter for the twenty-first century.
