Clever rhymes, a well-tuned metrical line and humorous content – this is the province of Warren Clements, whose verses have been published in The Globe and Mail, The Spectator, The New Statesman, The Washington Post and Light: A Journal of Light Verse.

Two sample quatrains from the poem that gives the book its title:

Big Brother has been overthrown/ By democratic vote./ So, Winston Smith, you're on your own./ Feel free to rock the boat.

Said Peter Pan, "You all can fly./ I'll use this pixie dust."/ A shame the window was so high:/ The magic proved a bust.
