"Weird" short, stupid poems for smart kids
The intention of publishing "Weird" is to aid human and animal refugees, by donating its entire net profits to International Rescue Committee (IRC) and International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW).
Sharing this information with friends, neighbors, relatives, etc.- either by word of mouth or on social media - will help multiply the financial benefits for these two incredible organizations, and would be much appreciated. You could give to either charity directly - but that way, you wouldn't get a book!
My genuine desire is that you and the children in your life will relish the abject silliness of "Weird."
I can't say what inspired me to create "Weird" because I really don't know. The short, stupid poems simply started appearing on my computer screen, as I sat there musing one day, in my daily daze. More showed up the next day, and still more the day after that... and so forth. Soon after the last poem came to me, the illustrations for them began to emerge on my drawing pad, as I sat doodling at my drafting table. That, in itself, was weird! I can't explain any of it, and therefore, I can take neither the credit nor the blame for it! I must say however, that while in the midst of it all, I was quite entertained, as I hope you will be... enough to take a copy home with you perhaps? In any case, thank you for your interest, and my very best to you!
Singer, artist, writer, clown. Builds a set, then tears it down. Paints all kinds of things on walls; In all the rooms, down all the halls. From late at night 'til break of dawn, Her never quiet brain goes on. Who can know what's in her head? She's truly one "weird" bird...'nuff said!
