Pills For The Homeward Bound (Pills For The Ward)

Pills for the Homeward Bound concludes the hospital series. Defining features of this anthology are restless verses primed to divert sluggish thoughts away from pending medical appointments to refocus on the fabric of society.Hospital inmates are advised to study the social issues within as a cathartic remedy for medical complaint. Institutionalised patients are deterred from speculating on their medical procedures by distracting their attention onto the antics of policy makers. In particular, the fable "Vaccine Visit" may offer readers a chance to suggest an alternative to the ingredients used for inoculation. Advocating the instigators of such policy to restrict its use to their own blood system would be useful.Illustrated plays are punctuated with candid images of politicians and other despots. Policy makers are unlikely to protest against an illicit display of their images since they are renowned to possess more than one face. Such a philanthropic gesture will no doubt be appreciated by convalescing readers.Intrigue is, as always, flavoured with illustrations using original artwork by the author. As throughout the author's hospital series, plays, poems and fables are richly enhanced with an assortment of characters ranging from woolly minded despots to sycophantic flunkies for one world governance. Though intended for a patient destined for a long spell, the verses may be read by anyone seeking asylum from dominant ideology.Also in the hospital series: Book One - Pills for the First ConsultationBook Two - Pills for the First NightBook Three - Pills for the First DayBook Four - Pills for Visiting HoursBook Five - Pills for the Homeward BoundDue to popular demand, the series is compiled into one book called Sweet Pills for the Hospital WardWhat others have said about this book: 'Full of disturbing doggerel and paintings... enough to drive one to drink.' - Arnold from the end stool in the 'Cat and Wheel''It's full of self-indulgent twaddle that upsets the clients, I mean patients. It's an outrage. If I catch any copies of this book in the hospital we will bring a claim.' - Anonymous, contractual administrator at Bristol Royal Infirmary.'This Lansdown fellow assured me a congenial read. After contemplating a pleasant poem, I turn a page and up pops some dreadful angst ridden saga. Plays should be about nice things like beer and steam engines, not politicians.'- Chris the postman.'This author glorifies blandness itself... the poems are even worse.' - Ex-girlfriend of the author.'Such harmful plays highlight the urgency of our current campaign for the compulsory implementation of microchips into the cerebral cortex of the populace. Those predisposed to write banal nonsense can be reprogrammed to find their muse while picking potatoes in a field' - Maureen, senior social worker and free-lance clairvoyant.
