About the book

Boys at Play  is a book of poetry. Fun poetry.  It's like recess, but for English majors. Parody, wordplay, comics, limericks, even a couple of show tunes. For a finale, Emperor Nero shows up and sets the place on fire. 

Written in the tradition of Ogden Nash, Dorothy Parker, Hilaire Belloc, W.S. Gilbert, and Edward Lear, Boys at Play  proves that light verse remains a perfectly respectable career path for words and phrases who shudder at the thought of working in an investment prospectus.
