You'll find six poems in this book. Five of which are humorous. Here's a brief description of each one of them.

1. Sales Pitch : This is a self deprecatory funny poem addressed to those of my friends who'll probably just want my manuscript so they don't have to buy my book.

2. Budding Poets' Survival Guide : Or How To Handle Critics, written in a humorous, combative style

3. Probabilities of Statisticians' Maladies : A uniquely hilarious look at health issues that plague regular folks vs those that trouble statisticians. Supposedly narrated by a statistician himself!

4. Aircraft Carrier Pilot's Soliloquy : The only poem in this collection which has a serious tone. A fighter pilot faces his demons as he comes in to land on an aircraft carrier, at night. This poem seems to be about carrier operations but I'd say read it for the way the pilot, acting as the narrator, reveals his true self to the reader

5. From Bad to Worse : A short, self deprecatory take on the subject of prose vs verse

6. Of Passing Fads and 70s Dads : The poet gets apprehensive about writer's block
