"The Glugs of Gosh" by C. J. Dennis is a book of satirical verse published in 1917. Written in the style of children's nonsense poetry, it depicts life in the fictional kingdom of Gosh, inhabited by the Glugs—a "stupid race of docile folk." Through thirteen interconnected poems, Dennis attacks free trade, social conformity, intellectual cowardice, and bureaucracy in Australian society. The work follows iconoclastic protectionist Joi and his poet son Sym as Gosh faces economic crisis and war.
