Slivers, Shards and Skerricks

a superb anthology of funny writing from Australia's pre-eminent comedy mind.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

This indefinitive collection brings together under one cover the very best comic writing - parody, poetry, prose, plays, philosophy and political treatise - by Australia's greatest living television host.

From 'I Was Scott Morrison's Schnoodle' and 'Around the World in One Pair of Underpants' to the deliciously decadent recipe for 'Satyricon Su'rprise', Slivers, Shards and Skerricks by Shaun Micallef has it all.

Thrill to the meta-ironic existential crisis in the Rocky universe; gasp as you learn what happened to Scrooge in the days following A Christmas Carol; discover what it takes to pass for human in an increasingly convoluted post-Robodebt world.

Plus, there are limericks like this:

There once was a poet who thought
Using words like fought, ought and wrought
Brought a purity sought
But it all came to nought
When he ended his last line with drought.
