Always look on the bright side of life…

Hope Lye at Street Voice UK clearly enjoyed herself reading Ian Shipley’s final collection of poetry, ‘Daft Punk Verse and a flick of the Vs’.

"I wasn’t too sure about this book as I’m not a fan of poetry so put this to one side for a while. Having been ill for a couple of months and bored with TV, I gave ‘Daft Punk Verse’ a chance and I’d never laughed some much! 

"The poetry in this book from Ian Shipley is hilarious! Just check out poems like My Shitty Shoe, Nobhead In The Chip Shop, I Wouldn’t Touch You With A Shitty Stick and The Great Covid Arse-Wipe Shortage could even make the most miserable of people fall over in laughter.

"Sometimes we need a laugh to get away from the mundane shit in our lives and this book is certainly going to have you laughing. So many poems and illustrations brought to you by the guy who ran Weird Records and at just under a tenner you’ve got a bargain. A Must Purchase."
