Not at all Rhinocerus
A collection of quirky verse by Barnaby Wilde which is not at all rhinoceros. (Well, maybe just a little bit, at the end).
A miscellany of weak puns, old jokes and a sense of the ridiculous, including 'A pyschiatrist's guide to empathetic garden design', 'Two flies walking on a bald man's head', and 'Acupuncture is a jab well done' amongst others.
And absolutely no mention of rhinoceros (OK. perhaps a very little bit at the end).

A Little Bit Elephant
A collection of quirky verse which has nothing to do with elephants (OK, it has a little bit of elephant, but that's all).
Another miscellany of puns, jokes and strange ideas, including verses about kitchen appliances, carpets, cabbages, sheep and just a tiny mention of elephants

Tunnel Vision
Another collection of quirky verse featuring some longer verses on subjects as diverse as flying saucers, fear of flying and dining room tables. Pausing along the way to ask, what if whales could fly? and do you need more than two pairs of shoes? Featuring 'The Ballad of Wayne and Bill' and 'Flying Over the Atlantic'. Puns and jokes as usual.

The Well Boiled Icycle
35 New 'quirky' poems by Barnaby Wilde featuring Clockwork Wellingtons, Goldfish, Jugglers and Gingerbread Men, but not necessarily in that order, (and not a mention of elephants).
