Like my first two books, The Orange Crystal-like Doorknob and The Ol' Dog and Duck, this one has fun, food for thought, and emotional feelings that I hope readers can relate to. But this one, although not exclusively so, has a theme running through many of the poems, and that theme is about getting older or maybe denying the fact and the general consequences.
