The Black Bin Bags Bite Back

Apart from the title poem, which is in characteristically satiric mode,there are poems about a bird park which is not what it seems;the appearance of a mysterious computer programme accasioning a poem; working in sewers; 'The Tale of the Pub Newt' is a comic and unlikely barroom epic yarn about a reptile found in a pint of beer, and other poems include the wonders of op scars and, somewhat weirdly,how the poet once fell in love with a lightbulb ('of the pearl incandescent kind, of course').
