In Rime, a collection of doggerel, whimsy and barb, William Driscoll turns his poetic sights on all things puffy, self-important and ridiculous. Cutting a wide swath of satire and mockery, the poetry in this collection ranges from the bawdy to the profane; from a nonsense rhyme about 'toysomeness Grinkle and tempastious Tala' to a plea for 'safe sonnetry' to an ode to 'dem beans', the poems collected here are constructed to amuse, tickle and offend in equal measure.
