42 Wacky Poems - 42 Wacky Poems

J.R. Carlson

WARNING: This book is crazy and weird! It's worse than your uncle's scraggly beard! It's about old time cashiers, aliens and fish. When you're finished you will wish that you did something else; like eat grapes from a dish. There are much better things to do with your time then get addicted to these catchy rhymes. But if you have a minute or two then I'd love to entertain you. It's the most random book you'll ever read. It's about cheerleaders, drummers and even a steed! It even mentions God a time or two but please don't let that offend you. There's plenty of mischief to balance it out. No need to cry, scream or shout unless you catch a giant 400 pound trout! Haha! Enjoy!

A Charles Dickens Holiday...

Charles Dickens

The Cricket on The Hearth was first published in 1845. 
 
A cricket constantly chirps on the hearth and acts as a guardian angel to the Peerybingle family. The arrival of a mysterious stranger threatens to shatter this harmony. Does the cricket have supernatural powers? Does he restore faith and overcome suspicion? A masterful story of love and loyalty, The Cricket on The Hearth is effused with the spirit of the season. 
 
The Seven Poor Travellers was first published in 1854. 
 
On Christmas Eve, a traveling gentleman happens upon a house in a quaint little village, which houses up to six travelers each evening. He decides to treat them all to a Christmas dinner and tells them a story around the fireplace about a soldier who finds the true meaning of forgiveness and redemption. 
 
A sparkling holiday gem from the great Charles Dickens.

Clay Tablets

Raed Aljishi

Clay Tablets in Nietzsche's Cave is a masterful, poetic work--and as momentous
for the reception of Arabic poetry in English as was the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls for theologians and anthropologists. These "clay tablets"--excavated
ostensibly from the cave of the Neanderthal of atheistic philosophy--unfurl a tour-de-force of aphoristic verses insisting on our need to sing, especially in negotiating our existence as animate dust, prostrate before Divinity
