Synopsis

IT was spring. The bright March sun in a cloudless blue sky was shining into the kitchen of Lowercoombe Farm, upon the spotless china on the dresser, the glistening tin ware on the mantelpiece, and the old copper warming pan hanging from its accustomed nail against the wall. The farm-house kitchen was a pleasant place: the stone floor was kept scrupulously clean, and the large deal table was as white as scrubbing could make it, whilst the oak settles by the fire-place and the few chairs placed at equal distances around the room shone with the constant application of 'elbow-grease,' as the housewives call rubbing and polishing. On the hearth burnt a large wood fire, over which in an iron crock simmered a savoury stew which Mrs. Maple, the farmer's wife, who was engaged in getting up her husband's shirts at the table, put down her iron to stir occasionally.

    I’m Reid Genauer, singer, songwriter, storyteller. What follows is a collection of children's stories called "Sandals or A Suit" —a collection of whimsical poems that sprung from my adventures as curious kid and later as a dad to three spirited children of my own. 
    As a musician in folk rock outfits Strangefolk and Assembly of Dust I’ve spent years cultivating, crafting on occasion cracking the code on a catalogue of songs for some 3 decades. And in the delightful chaos of fatherhood I've found a treasure trove of inspiration of another sort. These poems are not unlike songs, they're lighthearted lore for little folk. Little time capsules of the wonder born of waddling through the mischief of childhood—echoes of the eternal debate of sandals versus a suit to the wincing thrill of yanking a tooth with a length of string tied to a door (true story). 
    Each piece is a snapshot of laughter, the expression of imaginings and a chance to balloon into a world where every corner is an adventure waiting like a bullfrog bouncing into boggy soggy great beyond. These are but a few chapters in an endless escapade of stories I made up as bedtime ramblings for my kids. They are a landscape of sorts where whimsy reigns and the spirit of childhood dances afoot for people of all ages, happily ever after. 
    Lets Conspire To Smile Folks

But everything changed when It walked in. Unlike the other animals, this was conscious of their presence as it looked at them with eyes that held more intelligence than they dared to admit. How little it looked, how vulnerable it seemed. How wrong the trees were to underestimate it. Woody will soon learn the complex ways of men as he is forced to let go of all that is dear to him; his home, his friends and takes a stand in a world that offers little for his kind.

    As a young boy, Harish hears and feels the music of the Thar Desert, all around him: 
     
    “When the khamaicha thrums  
    and the dholak drums 
    and the boy’s feet tap 
    and his fingers sway … 
    it is softly … softly, so no one sees.” 
     
    Harish knows the line between what men and women should want, and he keeps it in sight. 
     
    But when Harish’s family suffers loss, he finds himself in charge of two sisters, in charge of making money. And so he begins to dance publicly, in the bright colors and kohl rimmed eyes of the god Krishna … and in the rhythm-making anklets and the swirling costumes of the female Rajasthani dancers he so admired. 
     
    A new persona is born. 
     
    The path of Queen Harish to stardom is not without trial, but it is one of bravery and fearlessness. A story of triumph and inspiration. Something to sing about out loudly, proudly, so everyone can hear.
