Gasp! Poetry!

The title and fearful character on the cover are meant to serve as a warning. So if you dislike poetry, you may want to go elsewhere to seek reading delight.

However, if you are open to poetry that could cause you to smile or frown or chuckle or scratch your head, you may find the 88 poems in this book to be delightful reading. The poems can be silly, serious, absurd, and they don't rhyme most of the time.

The poetical offerings span a range of topics, such as migrating unicorns, a history lesson about Ada Lovelace, a stoned philosopher, confusion over balaclava and baklava, a visit into an alien spaceship, a visit to Darwin's study, and an unusual murder in a park.
