See Spot Smile: A Proper Grammar for Every Dick and JaneThis collection of humorous poetry runs the gamut from "groaners," like puns, to the wit and sophistication of Shakespeare. The poet, J.R. Fisher, claims to have invented the "sonnette," whose pure form is a fourteen-word joke arranged vertically on the page. The internet has proven to be a great source for these simple poems. Along with others in the collection, "Proper Grammar" and "See Dick See Jane" will transport the reader back to school days. Other sure favorites will be "Loin Cloth" and "The Less than Divine Comedy." The reader is also sure to enjoy "Psychoglycemia," written for oversexed chocolate addicts.For those who are "humor challenged," many of the poems are annotated, so you don't miss the point of the joke. For example, "Confucius say that time flies like a banana, but fruit flies like a banana" is fully explained. Jim, or J.R. as he is known in literary circles, is often the comic relief in local open mic readings. He is often quoted as saying, If I can't motivate them or get them to think, perhaps I can make them laugh. Enjoy the book!
