What's that? You'd like a combination of #NationalPoetryDay and the month of #Halloween? But make it funny?
Happy to oblige... a collection of comedy poems about the work of the Grim Reaper, written by me and illustrated by the marvellous @banxtoons.bsky.social mccawmedia.co.uk amzn.to/405MTlE

A poem from the collection Sticky Ends by Carol Carman. The poem is called The Biter Bit and is illustrated by a waterfall of fingernails which lead down to the words 'The End' made from fingernails.
Illustration is by Jeremy Banx.

The poem reads:

Foolish Fred would bite his nails when he was alone;
Then he bit his fingers, right down to the bone…

…then he swallowed thumbs and palms
Followed by his wrists and arms,
Both feet’s toes, soles, insteps, heels
(Munching drowning anguished squeals),
Calves and shins and knees and thighs,
All consumed in front of eyes
Which had to watch the ghastly view
Of family jewels eaten too.
Still he chewed without a rest:
Bum, back, insides, belly, chest,
Shoulders, neck and lastly head;
Fred was – barring gnashers – dead.

When his wife walked through the door,
Just his teeth lay on the floor.
Snapping like the jaws of hell,
Fred’s teeth wolfed down her as well.

Bear in mind these dreadful tales:
Never, ever, bite your nails.

Cover of comedy poetry book Sticky Ends by Carol Carman. A catalogue of misfortunes,mishaps and meeting the maker. Unlucky - and unlikely - demises from the fevered imagination of Carol Carman, illustrated by Jeremy Banx. Front Cover shows a graveyard. Foremost grave is large, has a bony hand sticking out from the ground clutching a bunch of flowers, and on the gravestone is written Sticky Ends. In the background is the rest of the graveyard, with a church at the back and trees to the left hand side. Also in the graveyard are a bride with a black armband holding a bouquet, and a Grim Reaper clutching a bottle. Across the top is the strapline '65% Victoria Wood, 25% John Cooper Clarke, 10% Joyce Grenfell'.
