Last Week's Oranges

In our local book club last week, we had a quiz, to kick things off. The book club theme was Oranges, so the quiz had 9 purported titles. You had to mark the ones you thought were real books, who wrote them, if you marked them as books. Others were films, LP- I mean albums, or other cultural things. One was a red herring. (Should have been orange, eh?) Last Week's Oranges. Now, that answer is a real one. [Image source Wikipedia Commons placed in the public domain by Downtowngal ]

 Like being in the pub with JP Donleavy,Roddy Doyle or Dave Allen. Or maybe a combination of all three. Turlough's easy, cosy, self-deprecating humour never fails to make me smile. That's why it's today's Pick of the Day. Do please share on your...

Stanza three, line 2 has half of what should be the start of line 3 at its end.

In stanza five your punctuation needs to show which are the words of "T'Grim Reaper" (Ho,ho)

  it really is very good. You may well be able to place it with the right publisher when it's finished. Even if you can't, I think it would do well via self-publication/KDP etc.
