Don't Forget to Flush: Poems that will drive you clean around the bend

Don't Forget to Flush is John Eaton's second collection of humorous verse. It is an eclectic collection of poems that will make you laugh, ponder, and perhaps rethink your worldview - all from the comfort of the "small room". Eaton sees the world through a unique lens. His work spans topics far and wide: the quirks of human nature, the wonders of the natural world, the nuances of politics, and the intricacies of relationships. You'll enjoy his mischievous pen as he skewers pretension, roots for the underdog, and manages to take on current events with a wink and a nod.

This latest collection includes 116 amusing and creative poems. Examples include:

Billly and Benny (the Flowerpot Men-ny), a tribute to terracotta friends;

Jackboot and Jillboot - lighthearted odes to his-and-hers' footwear;

The collection also tackles national news with cheeky humour.

'Barnard Castle is the place to be,

A pleasant journey for my family

Where I can quarantine flexibly

To test my eyesight specifically.'

(continued).'

And things that are neither here or there ...

'I went to a rendezvous to see Ron Devue.

I thought I had deja vu but jamais vu.'
