In 2004, came this book with the title inspired by Elvis Presley – you can even see his famous quiff on every page! It will be fun listening to people trying to say the title when they want to buy a copy! Can you find anyone with an Elvis CD (or even an LP) to see if you can hear how The King says it?

The book opens with a tribute to those loud comedy ties that teachers seem to love and ends with a poem for dinner ladies everywhere. In between there is a riddle with no answer, some rewritten nursery rhymes, a poem about palindromes and loads more that Anne, David and Ben hope you will enjoy.

Interesting Book Fact: The poem “Double Trouble” is based on David’s wife, Judith’s experience – she was taught by her Mum; her Mum was her teacher – for 2 years. Aarrgghh!

The Wildebeest

Though wonderful, the wildebeest’s
not quite the brightest of the beasts.

One problem is – you’ll never guess –
it can’t recall its own address.

It wanders west, it wanders east -
it makes no difference in the least.

The wildebeest’s now so depressed
the doctor’s prescribed pills for stress.

But, though with frowns its brow is creased,
its wanderings have never ceased.

and all around the wilderness
it walks in its bewilderedness.
