Summary

Georgie Eliotwell has, since childhood, written poems. Some were intended as songs—but Georgie is a terrible singer and knows little about music, so they remain a kind of hybrid of poem and song—able to be spoken, but wanting to be sung. They are "pongs." There are two quite long, comical poems in this book that were never intended for singing. The rest are "pongs". Georgie would have liked to have fronted a rock band, but at almost 73 years of age has accepted that that bird has flown.
