Up Tae High Doh! Patrick Douse

Now available in paperback Patrick Douse's first collection of poetry is the book of poetry to have on your shelf. The observational humour and satirical parodies is fresh and relevant and will have you smiling in spite of yourself. Up tae high doh! is a Scottish expression meaning someone who is in an unbearable state of nervous agitation, exasperation or excitement. Those in high office, or enjoying celebrity status are knocked off their pedestals and the world order is challenged if not quite set to right. You may not be able to listen to the likes of George Michael, Madonna or Bryan Adams in quite the same way again. It should be part of every A level or IB student's English Curriculum. Many are uneasy about aspects of the cover, but all is revealed in one of the most contentious works 'Ancestry Confused dot com' . It is hard to believe that such figures as 'Sonia' graced every day items like cans of beer in the 1970's. If easily offended the book can be recycled into a handy facemask, or given to your big sister for her birthday..
