Let Sleeping Cats Lie - Pet Poems (Hardback) - Brian Bilston

A funny collection of pet poems from bestselling poet, Costa Prize-shortlisted novelist and Twitter Poet Laureate, Brian Bilston.

A hilarious collection of pet poems by wordplay wizard Brian Bilston. When you've got a bad case of the 'mews' and are in desperate need of a 'pup'-lifting read, this book is the 'ulti-mutt' remedy. The perfect gift for a dog person, cat person and every pet lover in between.

Please don't think me lazy,
I'm not trying to slack -
it's just that I'm stuck, you see,
under this cat.

Let Sleeping Cats Lie is a collection of poems following the funny lives of our furry - and not so furry - friends. Stars include Wilf, the hypnotist Labracadabrador, a philosophically inclined goldfish penning a profound haiku, a hen named Barbara receiving an adoring tribute, and an 'octopussy' cat that seems to have all its paws in plenty of odd little pies.
