Don't Forget to Flush! cover

An eclectic collection of poems that will make you laugh, cry and think. John Eaton sees the world through a unique lens. His insights span the world about us, the environment, sport, travel, the human psyche, politics, the animal world, and more. You'll enjoy his mischievous pen as he challenges self-importance, champions the underdog, and shatters plastic ceilings.

Comprises 116 poems including:

Billly and Benny (the Flowerpot Men-ny), a poem about terracotta friends;

Jackboot and Jillboot - odes to his and hers' footwear;

And covering subjects that hit the national headlines ... such as Barnard Castle:

'Barnard Castle is the place to be,

A pleasant journey for my family

Where I can quarantine flexibly

To test my eyesight specifically.

...'

And things that are neither here or there ...

'I went to a rendezvous to see Ron Devue.

I thought I had deja vu but jamais vu.'

'There is such a breadth of material here. John's imagination is amazing and I love the way he plays with word sounds, and moves from a nonsense-type poem to something quite poignant.' Alexa Tewkesbury, Author and Editor
