Introduction

I think it was Maxim Gorky (Lower Depths) who once said that laughter not only opens the mouth to laugh but also opens the mind to thought.

In this book, there are many poems that give that food for thought, for consideration and debate, but I have added a humorous bent on much of the material, for as in my case at least, humour is a good, strong tool in dealing in many cases of diversity.

As for the rest of the book, well, it's a mixture really with funny poems, well, just for the sake of a laugh.
