Here's a poetry collection by comedy performance poet Neal Zetter that takes you back to his time at school--and it looks as if not much has changed! Meet Mr Shoutyteacher, always getting in a STROP, as well as the school nose-picker (careful if he's sitting next to you!). What's your excuse for not doing your home-work?

Mr Bell's adaptation pucks the major events from the narrative, and his language treads a colorful path: a mixture of fanciful poetics, glib wisecrackery and an occasional Anglo-Saxon obscenity that lends a contemporary tint to things." -Bruce Weber, The New York Times ..". a le...
