Small Dreams Of A Scorpion: Poems

Spike Milligan had published volumes of humorous and children's poetry before the 1970s, but Small Dreams of a Scorpion is the first volume to feature some of his most personal and painful musings: partly on his own bouts of clinical depression and hospitalisation; partly about some of his darkest moments as a soldier in World War II; and also about some of the terrible moments of post-war world history and his reactions to them — the Korean and Vietnam conflicts, the Aberfan school disaster and the assassination of Robert Kennedy.
