Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 96
Book Description
Here's a poetry collection by comedy performance poet Neal Zetter that takes you back to his time at school--and it looks as if not much has changed! Meet Mr Shoutyteacher, always getting in a STROP, as well as the school nose-picker (careful if he's sitting next to you!). What's your excuse for not doing your home-work? Who feels like math is a number-filled mystery? What's your favorite sport--football in the playground or risk the dangers of roller-skating? Rap and rhyme your way around all the notable characters in school, not forgetting the members of your own embarrassing family. And look out for jokes as well as fascinating facts (true or false?).
