Truth Hurts, But It Rhymes: Poetry that stings, sings, and sometimes pees on your shoe

What if true life stopped trying to be polite? Truth Hurts, But It Rhymes is a bold, hilarious, gloriously inappropriate collection of rhymes about the things nobody puts in inspirational quotes. Belly button fluff. Toe jam. Morning breath. Phlegm. Flatulence. Mouldy towels. Spiders. Squirrels. Fish farts. Death. Grief. The cost of living. >With dark humour, sharp observation and surprising tenderness, Sara Basra takes the ordinary, awkward, disgusting and occasionally heartbreaking parts of life and turns them into verse. One minute you'll be laughing at earwax. The next, you might find yourself thinking about grief, anxiety, survival, the natural world, or why humans spend so much time pretending we've got everything together. Because beneath the jokes, there's something true. We leak. We creak. We overthink. We panic. We laugh at the wrong moments. And somehow, we keep going. From bodily functions nobody wants to discuss to nature's strangest creatures and the darker realities we'd sometimes rather avoid, Truth Hurts, But It Rhymes celebrates humanity in all its messy, uncomfortable, absurd glory. Perfect for readers who enjoy: - Dark humour with heart- Writing that doesn't take itself too seriously- Honest observations about real life- Neurodivergent voices and unconventional perspectives- Spoken word and performance poetry- The strange, gross and gloriously ridiculous- Laughing at things you probably shouldn't If you're looking for a gift for someone who's impossible to buy for, this is perfect for birthdays, Christmas, Secret Santa, stocking fillers-or simply because somebody you know needs a good laugh. This isn't writing that sits quietly in the corner behaving itself. These are rhymes with muddy shoes, questionable manners and something important to say. Funny. Fearless. Unfiltered. Unexpectedly heartfelt. Welcome to Truth Hurts, But It Rhymes. Because sometimes the truth hurts... but thankfully, it still rhymes.
