This book is 95 percent comedy. The remaining poems are serious in nature. The serious ones are about people who have touched my life. I have not been able to read them in front of people without tearing up.

The funny poems are a different story. Some of them have hidden comedy. Some of the jokes you heard in high school may appear in this book. I was and I am always looking for new material.

Some of the odes are based upon a true set of facts that happened to people I know. Some of them could be offensive to certain people. For that I apologize.

I enjoyed rewriting and editing these poems. That usually happens two months or so later. By that time I had forgotten what I had written.

Finally, I’d like to apologize to real poets for referring to my creations as “poems.”

Enjoy
