Each story is complete in itself, so you can begin to read at any place in the book. Some are: GARDENING, Mother Eve objects in The Garden; THE AWKWARD PRINCE. Does love always win out? A WIFE’S APPRECIATION, perhaps not what you would expect; ON THE HUSTINGS, an entrenched member of Congress gives a lesson; HUMILITY, A lady, with jaundiced eye, looks at fellow parishioners; MEMO FROM MOTHER, upper class advice to the family about to take a cruise; SHUT OUT, an unusual environmental spokesman is heard. DOGS GONE, canines in charge. GIRLS, raising three in a row; WHY THE IRISH CELEBRATE, St. Patrick wins. FORE! pre-historic workout; TIME AND AGAIN, a long-gone beatnik returns. CELL PHONE, a look at present uses and what might have been. There are many more to interest and amuse you, all in a variety of lively rhyme schemes. Employed for centuries in the telling of stories, rhyme is concise and is stimulating to the ear and the brain. No special training required to enjoy these stories.
