Whistling Isn’t Everything

About the Book

Ever gone to write a masterpiece, only to get side-tracked at the pub with a barmaid named Sue? Or looked out your window to find a crocodile chewing on your expensive garden fish? Welcome to the delightfully chaotic world of Paul Last. In this breezy collection of rhythmic verse, everyday life is constantly turning upside down. Whether it’s spelling arguments with the wife, trying to chat up girls when you can’t whistle to save your life, or dealing with an influx of three-legged deer, mining rabbits, and Australian bandicoots—these poems find the absolute joy and hilarity in life’s ultimate muddles. Pull up a stool, grab a cold pint at The Bell, and enjoy a fiercely funny romp through a very British backyard safari.

About the Author

The author is a professional observer of neighborhood drama, a survivor of domestic spelling debates, and a man who still can’t whistle to save his life. When he isn’t losing his train of thought on the way to the computer or getting thoroughly distracted by an old mate at The Bell, he can be found writing witty, down-toearth verse about the absolute chaos of everyday life. He currently lives in a state of perpetual flummox, trying his best to stay out of terrible trouble.
