A compilation of illustrated plays punctuated with irreverent images of politicians and other despots. Social issues are addressed using political satire as a cathartic remedy for hospital inmates. Though various bureaucrats from different branches of governance have not yet endorsed their images for public appraisal, it is certain this philanthropic gesture will be appreciated by convalescing readers. 'Sweet Pills for the Hospital Ward' are plays interspersed with original artwork and poems by the author. While intended for a patient destined for a long spell, the verses may be read by anyone seeking asylum from political ideology.What 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
