Description

In this one you’ll go all the way from reminiscently looking at an Afterimage to uncomfortably listening to a Zookeeper’s Tale! Also, in this “A through Z” arrangement you’ll yet again equi-vocally encounter that same still “strange and often epileptically eclectic selection of richly mixed subjects, topics and treatments “ this writer had and still has at various times “felt some compelling need to put on paper for his own relief and the possible amusement or edification of ‘imagined others’ “ You may already be a member of this group or have promising potential for becoming one. If you’ve favorably sampled a few then this may be just the book for you or someone you know or once knew. But, caveat time, if you should have an insensitivity, let alone active dislike for heavy use of rhyme and alliteration in your random recreational reading matter then this book is definitely not for you. As I’ve previously advised, most especially to any braille reader for whom it might prove “toxic to touch” put it down immediately and move on to another safer shelf or pile. But seriously, this collection does offer a rich, full spectrum of the silly and the serious often tightly word woven within the blending body of the same composition making for a medley or mosaic of meanings often in a meandering, sometimes mildly morbid but more often, I hope, musically amusing monolog. I characterized my original collection of poem-pieces as a “runic ragout of wry rhyme writings” and this still seems adequately apt for this grouping. Of course, when it comes to the consumption of ragouts, there can be no disputing that it remains a matter of tastes. Yes, it’s still a De gustibus issue! So once again, may my critics please forbear and accept a little more saucy Ogden Nash-hash here and preferably without too much unsavory or dumb disputandum … and/or fusstibus!

In this one you’ll go all the way from reminiscently looking at an Afterimage to uncomfortably listening to a Zookeeper’s Tale! Also, in this “A through Z” arrangement you’ll yet again equi-vocally...
