“Little Jimmy gave a shout
And gouged the baby’s eyeballs out.
He jumped on them and made them pop
And mummy said “Jimmy: stop!”
This very small verse is my favourite bit of Roald Dahl, and seems to encapsulate all that was good about him: grotesque, fantastic and skillfully designed to appeal to a child’s darker imaginings.
