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!
