A Country Glipe

By Jimmy Rafferty and Mr Jimmy Rafferty

'Glipe' is an old Irish expression, meaning a yokel, hick, etc. This book is a series of hilarious tales of life on a small, and very backward, Irish farm in the 1950s, with no electricity, a leaky thatched roof, and 'a little shack out back' that would 'freeze your assets quicker than the fraud squad' if you sat too long on a winter's night. Jimmy Rafferty is the four times winner of the prestigious 'Bard of Armagh' contest for humorous verse, held annually in front of an audience of over a thousand. He is noted for such outrageously funny poems as 'Foreign Feedin' (the effects of vindaloo on a mature Irish agricultural digestive system), 'HRT' (a farmer accidentally getting in touch with his feminine side), 'The Cullybackey Cowboy' (an Irish Country & Western singer), and 'Her Majesty's Pleasure', (the Queen explains that Royal life is not just a bowl of cherries). The words of all these, and many more hilarious poems, are also included in this book..
