Blurring Of Genders is Carol's third booklet of poems. "In this new book I am talking to the animals again," says Carol.  | | Why Men Wear Frocks, by Carol, part 1 |
"I have an inebriated elephant, a gorilla who wishes to be left alone, a camel in need of a little affection, and others. I have updated Edward Lear's Owl and Pussycat and put them in a modern setting." Columnist Peter Rhodes is a fan: "How long before Penn poet [Carol Ward] gets the recognition she deserves?" he wrote in the Express and Star newspaper, in August 2005. "I have just chortled my way through her third anthology, Blurring of Genders, which contains a glorious spoof on the Owl and the Pussycat. In the final verse, the musical pair are unemployed and have been ordered by a job's adviser to perform a gig at an old folks' home:  | | Why Men Wear Frocks, by Carol, part 2 |
"'They dined on spam,and bread and some jam,
Which they ate with an old fork and knife,
Pussy coughed, Owl choked and very nearly croaked,
And they are still there for life
for life
for life
And they are still there for life'." Carol's three booklets of poems, 'Blurring Of Genders', 'Men And Other Animals' and 'Four Women In A Boat' can be obtained for £5.00, for two, or £6.00 for all three, including postage and packing, from: 3A Woodfield Avenue
