A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Bookstore: Orangutan Tongs by Jon Agee

A mouthful of mush.

 

 

This very humorous book of tongue-twisting poems by the Palindrome King himself contains such profundities as the situation of an orangutan who has trouble eating his meal at a restaurant, the kind of noise that annoys a noisy oyster, the triumphs of a bubble gum blowing champ, the disadvantages of getting on the bad side of either an overeager ogre or a surly soldier, the things that a dodo'll do, the ways of a club for people who only use purple paper, and the unfortunate breakup between Patty Petty and Pete. If you like wacky poems, you like tongue twisters, and especially if you like wacky tongue-twisting poems, this is the book for you!

Joke of the Week #66

 

There once was a dog named Towser who ran a very popular pizza parlor in the heart of a city. What made his pizzas so popular, incidentally, was the way he made them; he'd build the crusts up high, and make them lean to one side before baking them. Everyone would come from miles around to see the Leaning Pizzas of Towser.
