This volume gathers Milligan's absurdist poetry and verse, united by the theme of transport — from bicycles to buses, rockets to rickshaws — each poem a wild, careening journey through wordplay, nonsense, and sharp satirical wit. With the energy of a man leaping through space on a unicycle, Milligan transforms the mundane mechanics of getting from A to B into a theatre of the ridiculous.\n\nRooted in the same surreal tradition that made The Goon Show a cultural landmark, this collection illustrates Milligan's unique genius for colliding the childlike with the cutting, the silly with the profound. His verse is deceptively simple — bouncing with internal rhymes and comic timing — yet beneath the laughter lies a keen, melancholic eye for the absurdities of modern life. Whether you're a lifelong devotee or a first-time reader, these poems will send you hurtling through Milligan's universe, and you may never look at a bus stop the same way again.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130487677147,"sku":"2026200009907-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/52c4ee7a-5551-475f-93c1-4b2926c4676a.png?v=1786585930","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200009907-secondhand-transports-of-delight","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
