Tall Tales

Me, I'm drivin' slowly, surly, 'cause we've had another row

When we passed this little paddock that contained a pig and cow

I guess the Devil made me ask, I said, "Relatives of yours?"

She didn't bat a bloody eyelid, just said, "Yeah, they're both in-laws "

Larrikin Australian bush/cowboy poet Long John Best is a national champion in his field. Tall Tales is a retrospective of his comic poems with a serious edge and versa visa, serious poems with comic tinges. Included are new works. The old and the new gallop along with breezy rhythms, leaving mirth and nuggets of wisdom in their wake.
