Too Many Rhymes, Not Enough Brains

"Too Many Rhymes, Not Enough Brains" is a collection of whimsical verse, geared toward school-age children, but suitable for readers of all ages beyond. The bigger part of the collection (including the title poem) consists of poems, some as long as two pages, others as short as a haiku. By and large (except for much of the haiku), the poems rhyme, although not all with the same meter and rhyme scheme.

There is a second section for fables in verse. These are liberal translations of actual fables from ancient China. The words represent the poet’s art, but the plots and morals of each tale date back to antiquity.

At the end of the book is an extra treat, which, though not in verse, should provide even further amusement.
