A Book of Bits, or a Bit of a Book

secondhandbookreview:

This cheeky little book by Spike Milligan is, as the title would suggest, full of bits: picture captions, sketches, poems, ‘so-so stories’ and photos.

.

Personal favourites: the Blank of England and a series of scratchy and very cute drawings of the twitt bird. Oh, and the little note in the back: ‘The publishers hope you enjoyed this book and invite you to write for their list of other titles’.

"English Teeth, English Teeth!
Shining in the sun
A part of British heritage
Aye, each and every one.
English Teeth, Happy Teeth!
Always having fun
Clamping down on bits of fish
And sausages half done.
English Teeth! HEROES’ Teeth!
Hear them click! and clack!
Let’s sing a song of praise to them -
Three Cheers for the Brown Grey and Black."

— Spike Milligan (via cinemaocd)

The one, the only, Spike Milligan.

I cannot
and I will not
No, I cannot love you less
Like the flower to the butterfly
The corsage to the dress

She turns my love to dust
my destination empty
my beliefs scattered: Diaspora!

Who set this course - and why?
Now my wings beat -
without purpose
Yet they speed.

Spike Milligan, Eurolove
