The Days of Dinkum Dodger - Volume III

Author: John Saomes
Publisher: Inspire Point Publishing
ISBN: 099429106X
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 98

Book Description
Every poem tells a story... of political correctness gone wrong, immigration madness, and an encroaching one world government that threatens to consume us all. Entertaining, thought-provoking, hilariously funny, and deftly serious... this third volume of comical antics and outrageous yarns — as told by the infamous Dinkumous J. Dodger, a true blue Aussie larrikin — is intended to confront and challenge, as well as give you a good laugh! Political correctness is swept aside and daring opinions are openly expressed to challenge governments, politicians, and international conspirators. Probing questions are posed about political motivations, foreign manipulation, and Australia’s place in the world. There is nothing mild mannered about this poetry. You either laugh until your sides ache, become incensed with outrage, cringe with fear — or roar your approval that someone has the pluck to express what many of us really think in this socially engineered and tightly controlled world. The poetry of John Saomes is a feisty weave of humour and biting social comment that will tickle your funny bone and challenge your thinking!
