Serious Poems for Serious Kids

Alright, here’s the deal.

This book of twenty-six poems is no laughing matter. It may contain trolls, a robot, people with lots of hair and/or very large teeth, bold warriors, large things, a pasta abode, animals, magic, and various and sundry silly happenings, it is indeed a book of the utmost seriousness, philosophical explorations, and scientific mystifications.

Please, for the sake of the author and illustrator, take this book with every degree of solemnity you can muster. Laughs, whoops, howls, and cackles are to be avoided, while chortles, chuckles, and crack-ups are strongly discouraged, and we don’t recommend grins, or snickers. Guffaws are an absolute no-no.

Likewise, any sense of merriment, mirth, or enjoyment should be abandoned before reading this.

You get the idea.

Anywho. It is our hope that you indulge this book with sedated sobriety. Enjoy….er…we mean… um… you can enjoy it, but not too much.

Serious Poems for Serious Kids will bring a smile to faces young and old and, who knows, maybe even the unrecommended laugh.
