Stupid Poems 15

by Ian Vannoey

Once again Stupid Poems addresses the main issues of today. There is Brexit and Donald Trump of course, but there are also more important issues such as flamingos, giraffes and kangaroos, fork-lift trucks and the Downing Street cat. There’s something for everyone who enjoys a deft and comic touch of silliness.

‘Let’s objectively weigh up all the evidence.’
‘Coherent foreign policy’
‘I respectfully disagree.’
‘I’m so grateful to the media for giving me so much publicity.’
‘Everybody is entitled to be treated with respect.’
‘I went to Britain and was greeted by huge cheering crowds.’*
‘The US constitution is designed to limit the power of the president.’
‘The USA is a nation built on immigration.’
‘With all due modesty,…’

- Excerpt from Things Donald Trump is Unlikely to Say

Book Reviews

Some very witty and funny poems. Some humor brought to very serious issues allowing one to see them in a new light. An enjoyable read.

Stupid Poems 15 by Ian Vannoey is a silly, yet sometimes astute, collection of observations, and I would argue that this title is too self deprecatory by far. Admittedly, after reading the first two entries, I was convinced that this particular collection was just not my cup of tea. When I reached Things Donald Trump is Unlikely to Say, however, I had found my stride and began to appreciate the uniqueness of Mr Vannoey's voice. This is a quick, refreshing read, and I can honestly say that I have never read anything like it.

Thanks Netgally for offering me the chance to read one of the silliest and stupidest things I've ever read. Do not go into this book of poems looking to learn something new or hear sweet words, you will be highly disappointed.

These poems are completely ridiculous, if you take them for what they are (silly, stupid poems) than it will be highly entertaining.

These poems cover everything from Donald Trump, Meghan Markle, Prince Harry and baby Archie to giraffes and even fork lifts and underwear. You will not be disappointed by the variety of "topics" chosen for these poems.

Just think, there are 14 other books of poems just like this one that predates this book. You could roll your eyes, snort and laugh for at least two days!
