To The Reader
A book like this is rather like a box of bonbons. Dip in and try a few, but do not try to digest the whole all at once. That might upset your stomach. Select a few and savor. Taste soft centers; never just push the bottoms in and put them back. Some are hard centers. Linger on them. And, of course, even if this is light verse it is poetry, meant to be read aloud and guided by the line arrangements. Do not read on public transport where if you laugh loudly or even smile broadly people think you must be crazy. Amusement is not crazy; laughter is good medicine.

About the Author:
Leonard R. N. Ashley (PhD, Princeton), LHD (Columbia Theological, hon.) is a professor Emeritus of Brooklyn College of The City University of New York and most of his several dozen published works are academic, covering literature (literary biography, literary criticism, literary history) and linguistics (onomastics, geolinguistics) and popular culture and folklore, the occult, and military history, plus textbooks. However, he did publish when younger in 50 or 60 poetry magazines that "died to make verse free". His latest books suggest his wide range. They are Last Days (dealing with The Messiah, The Rapture, The Apocalypse and The Last Judgment), Mexico: The Smart Traveler's Guide to All the Names (for tourists that have no Spanish), and Nordic Folk Lore and Tradition (written with Ola J. Holten of Sweden). Some of his work has been translated into German, Dutch, and Portuguese but these little wordplays probably can't be.
