Always Eat Your Bogies
by Andrew Collett, Illustrated by Sue Cork
ISBN 978-1-872438-20-7 (1998) A5, pbk., £4.50
Anyone who has already devoured Gez Walsh's books of bad taste poetry for kids and has been longing for more of the same is in for a treat. Andrew Collett, whose anarchic sense of humour has been kept under wraps while he has been working under cover as a teacher, has finally got together a collection of the gross, disgusting and very very funny verse for children.
" Always eat your bogies,
Don't wipe them on your clothes:
Just gulp them down in one
As you pick them from your nose.
For they're full of crunchy goodness,
They're best when green and long,
So always eat your bogies
And you'll grow up big and strong"
Some of Andrew's work has been previously published separately in anthologies by Oxford University Press, Macmillan, Heinemann, and others. Poems such as Always Eat Your Bogies, The Old and Crusty Loo, The Planet Pong, and The Spotted Grumble Bug, give a fair idea of the subject matter and place Andrew firmly in the tradition of bad taste poetry for which the Potty Poets series is becoming known. If you have ever wondered if you could spot a teacher in love, or wondered why the laundry bin is like a compost heap, this is the book for you!
