A Christmas gift, an author that needs no introduction, and a subject that everyone knows about, this short collection of poems and sketches made me break my unwritten rule to eschew poetry at all costs. When Dumpty breaks into “Some of my favourite lies” you have admire the clever adaptation from Mary Poppins.
For readers who wisely have stopped or never started keeping track of the latest Washington scandals and firings, a short explanation of the characters satirized is provided at the end of some poems. Several pages are just cartoonish sketches. The whole book can be read in under two hours even adding in some chuckle time. You should share this one by placing it in a magazine rack in the washroom.
