Spike Milligan Books

One of the first books I remember reading and laughing my head off about was Silly Verse for Kids by Spike Milligan. To this day, Spike remains one of my comedy heroes because he was silly. I love laughing at silly things and I suppose I always will. So, poems like Granny, were (and are) a treat to read out loud.

Through every nook and every cranny

The wind blew in on poor old granny

Around her knees, into each ear

(Up her nose as well, I fear)
